Moving Sketches from a Body
 |
After reordering sketch-based features, you very often need to move their corresponding sketches. This task shows you how to do so. | ||||
 |
Open the ChangeBody.CATPart document. | ||||
 |
1. | From the specification tree, reorder Pad.4 and move it to Body.1. |  |
||
| 2. |
You can notice that Sketch.4 remains in PartBody. Select Sketch.4 then choose the xxx.object -> Change Body contextual command. The Change Body command lets you move a sketch from a body to the body of your choice. |
||||
|
|
|||||
 |
Multi-selection of sketches is supported. However, note that in this case, the contextual menu is not available, and that you can access this capability using the Edit -> Change Body menu item. | ||||
| The Change Body dialog box is displayed. | |||||
|
|
|||||
| 3. |
Click Destination and select Body 1 or use the combo list from the dialog box. |
||||
| 4. | Click
OK to confirm.
Sketch.4 is moved to its new location, that is below Pad.4, but geometry remains unchanged. |
||||
 |

|
Using the Change Body command, you can also move a sketch from an open body to another body and vice-versa. To know how to use the Change Body command when dealing with open bodies, refer to CATIA Generative Shape Design User's Guide. |

,
you can move the parents of the selected sketch to its new location by
checking the Change body unshared parents option. Note however
that this is allowed only if these parents are not shared by any other
element of the initial body.
