Can preparation features be moved to machining features within weldment?

So I create a fabricated assembly with a bunch of components that are to be welded together. Unfortunately, I did this under a regular assembly type. Within the regular assembly type, I put in many, many features that are actually post-weld features. Now after doing this, I changed the assembly type to a weldment and now all my features have been automatically placed under the Preparations tree. Is there anyway to simply move these features to the Machining tree?

Nevermind. I found out the you can choose what section that the features go into when you first convert from a regular assembly to a weldment. I simply picked the Machining option and it now puts them all into that tree.

Sorry, I just saw this. Yeah, you can choose when you do the conversion.

But, wouldn't it be nice if you could drag features back and forth between machining and preparations if you needed it?

Yes, that would be awesome.
