That means if you export it the exported part will retain its full parametric nature.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Currently if you first create the sketch extrude (or whatever) a body from it and the make a component from that body the sketch is lost on export. NO good if you want to create an X-Ref from it. What suck in particular that currlentlyyou can also not move the sketch into the component even if that sketch is referenced only from that component. You have to redesign if you want to retain paametric nature after export.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I have run into this multiple times as it is easy to forget to ativate a component.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Tue, 03 Feb 2015 00:45:47 GMT TrippyLighting 2015-02-03T00:45:47Z
