Deleting a feature without breaking subsequent features

Post by michaelberrier »

Apologies, but I've searched and found answers close to this, but not exactly this.

I'm building a design little bit at a time, and have now decided to scrap one of the first features I added (circled):

When I hightlight it and select Delete, I get the following box:

How can I get rid of a feature without having to redo all the work?

Thank you.

* Good planning :lol:
* Independant features : Topological_naming_problem
* Sketches, sketches, sketches, ...
* Fillets & Chamfers inside sketches (if possible)

provide a personnal file as example
