Can I edit a form feature?
Can I edit a form feature?
(OP)
I've got a part where the original forming tool has been lost (HD crash on the computer that created it). Is there any way to edit the form?
I don't use forms much, but are they really this non-parametric? Is this improved in '08?

A related question... do I have to have the form in the Library to get it to work? I'd like to keep it with the part so that it doesn't get lost again.

One thing you could do is offset your surfaces (in the form area) by zero, and extrude a solid up to those surfaces. Save that body as a parasolid (or whatever) and import back into SW. You could then include that as a body in the part (and hide it) or add it to an assembly. This way it will hitch a ride with your part wherever the part/assembly goes.
