How to extract I-feature from model

[bradeneuropeArthur]

I have a model from another company with a sheetmetal punch in it.

I dont have the feature selves.

How can I create a feature out of it or how can I get the feature from it.

Is there something available for that

On the Manage tab, under Author... use Extract iFeature tool.

Hi @CGBenner 

Since it is already used in the model it is already a feature.

But I don't have the mother-file the basis!

@bradeneuropeArthur 

If you extract the ifeature, you can save it to your Feature catalog for future use.

I cannot extract the i-feature.

It is only possible when it is not an I-feature.

this is in the model tree.

I want to have it as punch tool again, but how?

@bradeneuropeArthur 

What happens when you try to use the Extract tool?

[bradeneuropeArthur]

only the sketches are in then and not the volume!

it is a cut and than adds material like a normal puch.

I presume that you can't do nothing but redo again all the features, then extract them.

[bradeneuropeArthur]

is that really true, since it is very complex to re-produce!

@bradeneuropeArthur 

Can you share the part file here?

[bradeneuropeArthur]

Here it is

From my point of view, I confirm, you can't.

You are looking fot "Crossbreak Punch Tool.ide" that is not present in your machine

[bradeneuropeArthur]

@admaiora  Correct!

@bradeneuropeArthur 

Looking at the file, I would agree with @admaiora 

This does not seem possible.
