Change a block to a sketch
Change a block to a sketch
(OP)
Hi all, I have been supplied some parts and have done a load of modifcations to it, then realised that it was started by the BLOCK function. Our standards we work to doesn't allow the use of functions like this, everything has to be generated by using s sketch and extrude. My question is, is there any easy way to change my BLOCK to a sketch and have everything underneath it reassociate correctly. Picture is attached.
Cheers

RE: Change a block to a sketch
What I would do in your situation is make the existing block the "current feature", then delete it, and replace it with the new block and sketch.
Then work you way down the model tree, making the next feature down the "current feature" and reassociating way you need to.
Your datum planes and axis are "fixed, so they shouldn't be affected.
It's hard to tell from here how bad it may be for you, but it may work out ok.
