If a find features recognizes a feature in a way that does not fit your intent
you can change it. In the browser you can right-click and change the feature
type. For example recognize a hole as a revolve. You can also dissolve the
feature which removes the feature from the browser but leaves the geometry
on the model.
Dimensions and Body Constraints
Dimensions and Body Constraints are used to constrain the faces and edges
of the model in certain ways while still allowing free-form Direct Manipulation
of the model in other ways.
Dimensions can be used to drive the model, or can be used as pure annotations
(non-driving). For more information about dimensions as annotations, see
Dimensions.
Body constraints are used to constrain faces and edges within a single
component. For information on how to constrain or assemble components
relative to each other, see Position and Constrain Components on page 200.
Overview
Inventor Fusion will respect the design intent of the constraints while using
the Move and Press/Pull commands and when changing dimension values.
If you are moving a face that is constrained to another face, then the other
face is also moved in order to respect the constraint.
Constraints are propagated through patterns. If you are moving a face that
is part of a pattern, then all corresponding faces in that pattern move in the
same way. If any of those faces are constrained to any other faces, they are
also moved as appropriate.
The face or faces that you are explicitly moving are always moved exactly as
you specify. The other faces are moved to respect constraints.
If Inventor Fusion cannot find a suitable solution, then the preview stops and
the Error Glyph appears.
Note that you don't always need to use body constraints to merely move a
face in a constrained way. You can use the move triad, possibly aligning it to
an edge, and by selecting the appropriate element of the triad, you can force
the face to only move in certain limited directions.
