Tabs
References
Sketch collector—Displays the section references for the sketch-based feature. The collector can contain dependent or independent sections. Note that a dependent section has the same name as its parent sketch feature. The system assigns unique names to independent sections.
Define—Opens the Sketch dialog box enabling you to use Sketcher to define an independent section. Available only if the Sketch collector is empty (no section defined or sketch selected).
Edit—Opens the Sketch dialog box enabling you to use Sketcher to redefine the independent section. Available only if the Fill features use independent sections. If you want to edit a dependent section, you can either edit the parent sketch or break the section dependency by using Unlink.
Unlink—Breaks the association between the dependent section and the parent Sketch feature. The Sketch feature references are copied to the new independent section. Available only if the Fill features use dependent sections.
