The Feature Tree in AutoCAD...............

Hi,

The Feature Tree represents all the steps that have been taken in a CAD design system to create the final Part.

For instance: Selecting a sketch and defining an extrusion. Selecting an edge and creating a fillet.

All these features can be accessed and edit in the tree.

Attached is a Catia feature tree.

What is the equivalent of the tree in the picture, in AutoCAD?

How are the features in AutoCAD found/access and/or edit?

Thank you!

You can find an associativity in some 3D operations and kind of find and change the primitives of some objects.

An that's it. No trees.

Autocad has nothing to see but in a pure drawing board with no limits.

The CAD systems you are talking about have very different kinds of limits and fewer capacities to draw millions of colored lines.

@george_ionita52KAC AutoCAD, the software this forum is dedicated to, is a general use CAD program that is NOT in any way shape of form an industry-specific tool like CATIA. So... there is not such feature-set, you are comparing apples to tomatoes here.

Explore more relevant Autodesk software instead (and post in those other forums, not in this one)

How about if I want to change the parameters of a previous feature?......

Well, you can draw under parameters and constraints. It is quite new because those features were not avalaible in the 2000's

So : there is a way to draw a little like in those parametrics prog. In 2D ,in any plane but in 2D.

Try it. It is not historical but it works fine. I sometimes draw with parameters.
