Intelligent Snap Points

[kellings]

When placing features on a part, such as a hole, the snap points are really nice to use to locate your feature. As the model is edited and reszied, the features don't stay tied to those snap points.

I would like a relationship created between the snap point and the feature. So that if the model is edited, the design intent is preserved.

In the attached screen cast I placed a hole that should be centered on the face the hole is being placed on. A snap point appears and makes locating that hole on the center of the face very easy. When the size of the face is updated, the hole position does not update with the dimensional change.

More intelegent snapping is always good as long as you turn it on and off like with a check box. Occasionally all snapping is going to need an on/off switch.

I often find myself having to sketch 2  lines on rectangular face to fine a centre point. You can get the green triangle hint for the centre of one edge but it won't snap or even hint to the centre of the perpendicular edge to it, (the centre of that face) as you drag down, so you have to start drawing lines out from the centres of the edges. All this seems long winded when all I want is the obvious choice, the centre point of a rectangle.

Then I have more sections to multi select when doing any pull/press from that sketch. You end up with a super busy sketch just locating centre points.
