Deleting Features

guy_rogel

I want to clean up my feature tree.
But I am not sure when deleting a problematic features what child feature will be deleted as well
Is there an option to see "Parent child" relations between features ?

dependent features are not deleted when you delete a parent, they become red-colored indicating that they lost references so you can redefine reference sets or delete them

So I would love to have the option to understand what are the dependent features so I can correct them before deleting the parent. some times when references are broken it's very hard to remember what was in the sketch and so on...

suppress the feature, it's obvious which are the children as long if you have no other errors.

@guy_rogel this is a poor substitution for the functionality you are looking for.

@billy2 is correct, suppression is a quick, non-damaging way to check what would happen if the feature was deleted.

I think what you are requesting is something closer to Solidworks child-parent feature, which I admit really comes in handy time to time, but is turned off during the normal work week
