Parent and Child relation

Parent and Child relation

Parent and Child relation

(OP)
All,

I have a part model with several features. Is there a way I can know the parent child relation ship of a feature.

Eg.

1. I need to know the parent-sturcture of a work plane
2. How can I know which features are depending on this plane.


Thanks
C1

RE: Parent and Child relation

You might investigate iMap for Inventor technology preview at http://labs.autodesk.com and see if this provides the functionality you are looking for. I have not used so cannot verify.

Will try. Thanks.

However, I had a rough glance at it. And I think its supporting just assemblies and not part features. I will have a closer look. Thanks for the closest possible solution for my question.
 

RE: Parent and Child relation

No such tool that I know of. imap is for assembly constraints.
But you should easily be able to see what is dependant on others by just looking at the sketch. If it's dimensioned off a workplane you will see the dimension,etc.. or heck just start to delete it and inventor will highlight the parent.
