Hi,

Let's say I create a Block.
Then I apply Pull Face (Synchronous Modeling) to one of its faces.
At the end, I want to create a Draft Body, using the Parting Line of the "Pull Face" as reference.
Question: Is this "Parting Line" selectable?
I know I could use different options but I am interested in this particular topic (Parting Line management)

Thanks!

NO, the 'Pull Face' will not automatically leave a 'parting line' that can be referenced when you create the Draft feature.

I know you mentioned that you were aware of other methods but wanted to limit this to using only this approach. That being said, I would still look at something like using Extrude with Draft and picking the face edges. This will give you what you want in one operation.
