Some clarification about what importing a Solidworks (or other types) does, and about what Find Features does.

 

First, importing a STEP, IGES, Solidworks, etc design does not import any of the parametric logic in the source design.  The result is a Direct Modeling design that does not have any of the logic in a parametric design.  Second, Find Features does not produce parametric features, or sketches.  This command simply tries to identify feature-like areas of geometry, and label them as features, again in a Direct Modeling design.  These features can be edited to a very limited extent, but you should not expect sketches and a parametric feature recipe to be produced using Find Features.
