testing nx9mp1
(OP)
hello guys,
I'm testing replace feature- nx9 doesn't work as expected, or is there something I missed?
tried to replace a block feature with fillets (should transfer) to a other block feature (same topo)

sorry new in NX

One thing to keep in mind, the second Block must be placed in the Part Navigator 'time-stamped' order AHEAD of the Blend features.
Note that I tested this scenario, replacing a Block feature with Edge Blends with a second Block feature, using NX 9.0.1 and it worked just fine.

You do realize, don't you, that you will have to select each one of the edges that you're going to blend on the new Block as part of the workflow in the Replace Feature dialog...

Erwin,
When you create a new Block, you're creating new topology (faces, edges, etc.). This topology is identified separately from the original Block feature. The blend is "looking" for specific edges and adding the new topology (edges) causes the Blend to require the new edges be defined. In short, I'd expect you to be able to Replace the Block feature, but the Blend will probably fail and you'll need to redefine the Blend edges. The old edges may still show up when you edit the Blend, but clicking the X (deletes the old edge selection) and repicking all edges should get the Blend feature to update correctly on the new Block feature.
Hope this helps explain what might be going on in the background and why selecting new edges is required. Try to keep that mentality at the forefront when replacing bodies, faces, etc. It will help you diagnose model update failures and feature warning messages that might appear in the Part Navigator.
