Reordering Features 

The Reorder capability allows you to rectify design mistakes. This task shows how to reorder, that is move a pad.
Open the Reorder1.CATPart document.
1.  Your initial data consists of a pad that was mirrored and a second pad created afterwards. As the order of creation is wrong, you are going to reorder the second pad so as to mirror the whole part. Position your cursor on Pad.2. and select Edit -> Pad.2 object -> Reorder...


2. 

 

The Feature Reorder dialog box appears.

Select Pad.1 to specify the new location of the feature.

This name appears in the After: field.

3.  Click OK.

The part rebuilds itself. The mirror feature appears after the creation of the second pad, which explains why this second pad is now mirrored.
