Right click option to reconnect frame members after user sketch edits.

Sometimes when updating the user sketches that drive frame generator components, the frame member loses its reference. Sometimes a rebuild all is enough to realign the members with the user created sketches. But often it doesn't, the only way around it from my understanding is to delete the member and then insert a new one which can be quite time-consuming.

I would love a right click option on the frame members and then something like 'reconnect to sketch' so that the same member size and type are instantly applied to the new sketch, this would be a huge time saver.

I would also like the option for all members not just ones that are referencing non-existing geometry, although rare there are times when it would be handy.

Thanks,

I just had it yesterday in fact where I changed a user-generated sketch, so there is no way to expect Inventor to know where the new geometry is. A right click, 'redefine feature' type option (similar to work features and sketches) for any frame member would be a massive timesaver, especially if it was able to bring over end treatments either user added or from the frame generator options.

Thanks again,

Shaun
