Suppose you modelled a lot of parts, numbered them, detailed them.
Suppose you now want to add a specific simple detail to each ot these parts, identically. Let's say one more hole, one punch, one notch, ...
It would be useful to apply these simple modifications directly into the 2D detail and get them applied to the whole model. Or open the part itself in 3D, modify it, and then apply to all.
Sort of block editing, or special part, but without the mess of creating a SP each time.
Smart one for all editing of repeated (automatically identified) equal parts.
