Difference between a non-associative and part with features removed?
Difference between a non-associative and part with features removed?
(OP)
Hello,
I have seen that we can copy parts and remove their associativity.
We can further remove the Parameters by using the 'remove parameters' Option.
I would like to know what the difference between the two is?
As far as i know, i dont see the history in non-associative part as well, so editing the part further is same.
What am I missing?

RE: Difference between a non-associative and part with features removed?
So getting back to your question, in the two scenarios the you've described, exporting a feature-based (parametric) model using the 'Remove Associativity' option or using the 'Remove Parameters' function, the results are exactly the same, getting a model where the 'history' has been removed. At best you could call it non-parametric or even a 'dumb' model, but to say that it was "non-associative" would be misleading and perhaps NOT even true depending on how and when the parameters/features were removed.
Anyway, I hope this helps and did not confuse you more.
