Can I delete a feature without deleting it's children?
Can I delete a feature without deleting it's children?
(OP)
I occasionally need to replace a feature (ie loft) with an entirely different feature (ie sweep) early in the model history. I'd prefer to roll back the model to the loft, delete it, create the sweep and then deal with the model failures one at a time as I roll forward. Problem is that SW wants to delete all of the children of the loft as well, so my new first step is hunting down the children and disassociating them from the loft.
Anything I'm missing or is that just the way it's gotta be?

Sketches and such will understandably crap out, but things like that can generally be fixed easier than they can be recreated.

Not with Pro/E. Of course Pro/E puts you into the dreaded regen failure mode and forces you to resolve it right then and there... I'm not sure which I prefer.
