Use Case | Guideline | Explanation |
Solid edge preparation without children | Convert the edge preparation to light. | Use when converting to the light edge preparation. If you convert back to the solid geometry, all solid references are maintained. |
Solid edge preparation with a surface weld | Convert the edge preparation to light and either freeze the weld or also convert it to light. | If you reference a surface weld to a solid edge preparation, and subsequently convert the solid edge preparation to a light edge preparation, you should also convert the surface weld to a light weld. |
Solid edge preparation with a light weld | Convert the edge preparation to light and keep the light weld. | The light weld can stay the same, as it inherits the references of the new light edge preparation. |
Light edge preparation without children | Convert the edge preparation to solid. | When converting to solid geometry, the stored parameters for the solid automatically create the geometry in your design. If you convert to the light geometry, all solid references are maintained. |
Light edge preparation with a light weld | Convert the edge preparation to solid, and either freeze the weld or also convert it to solid. | With a solid edge preparation, the light weld should be converted and its references changed to solid geometry. |
Light edge preparation with a surface weld | Convert the edge preparation to solid and keep the surface weld. | When light edge preparation is converted to solid edge preparation, the appropriate (alternate) references are provided, and any children of the feature are frozen. |
