Drag & Drop

[Anonymous]

You can drag and drop items in the browser so that order of the items can be changed to add additional features to model.

Is there any condition to do drag and drop?

[mdavis22569]

yes ..and you can move the end of part up too ( Edited to add, you can move the EOP up and down to add features etc)

I don't recommend it (edited to add, moving features/extrusions, holes etc up and down in the browser order)  ...you can cause issues with other features once you start doing that

Don't recommend doing what.  Moving the EOP?  I routinely do that - several times a day to insert features I did not think about.

Don't use Projected Loops (created when using Project Geometry on a face rather than an edge(s).

And the usual parent/child relationships must be observed.  (most beginners get hung up on these)

No ..I don't recommend moving features up and down in the browser order ...

Sorry for the possible confusion that my 1st reply could cause 

Edited it for ya ....

What is meant by EOP?

This may be the shorten form of End of the Part. What does it mean in the browser?

[JDMather]

End of Part - the red marker at the bottom of your feature history tree.

I watched a video that was moving a feature and adding additional feature to the model.

[mdavis22569]

Disclaimer, so I don't get a hate reply ... I know I didn't constrain the rectangles, I was showing the cut ..and how to move the EOP and add different features/cuts ... and then moving of the chamfer...

and I didn't want to make a 3 minute video

I want to mirror these five points to other side. I wish to know is there any way to use Work Plane1 as a mirror.

[mdavis22569]

mirroring is different than moving and adding features .......attach the part ...

however if it's based on the origin ... you can mirror them about the plane

[Anonymous]

What was the reason that we were able to use Work Plane1 as a mirror for Extrusion3 but not for Sketch8.

[mdavis22569]

because I don't know what Sketch 8 is ... I know if you modeled it about the midplane and want to mirror it about the midpoint/midplane/center ..then this would work ...

However it looks like it's working for you ... NO?

looking at the part now 

[Anonymous]

Here  is the part model.

[mdavis22569]

you could mirror a lot of this all together. 

Why do you have Sketch 8 ....then have another sketch with 8 shared into it....

I redid some of it .... and mirrored the holes and extrusions 3 and 4 with the holes.  I arranged the holes slightly different and fully constrainted them

[Anonymous]

I want to mirror points only not holes. If I mirror the points I can move it and then hole it as shown in the video.

Hi fiatnm,

I gave you an example of how to do this simply on this thread.

here is is again though:

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

I didn't see the video....

look at what Curtis offered too ...

this has gone from moving features in the browser  ...to mirroring features to now mirroring sketches ....

Problem is I am unable to understand your method.
