This task is divided in two subtasks. The first one allows you to understand
what happens if the local modifier is not inserted in the chain of local
modifiers. The second one shows you how to insert it. |

Open the Feature_Modifier02.CATPart
document. |

-
Click Draft Reflect Line
.
The Draft Reflect Line Definition
dialog box is displayed.
-
Select Added Prism.2 (make sure you did not selected
a patterned one) and enter 25 deg in the Angle field.
-
Click OK.
Note that the Draft is only created on the selected Prism.
-
Right-click on Circular Pattern.1 in the
specification tree and select Parents/Children.
Note that Circular Pattern.1 is located
between Added Prism.2 and Draft.1.
Double-clicking the pattern feature shows
that the added prism feature was used as the feature to pattern.

|
Open the Feature_Modifier02.CATPart
document again. |
|
-
Right-click on Circular Pattern.1 on the
Specification Tree and select Circular Pattern.1 object >
Deactivate.
-
Click Draft Reflect Line
.
The Draft Reflect Line Definition
dialog box is displayed.
-
Select Added Prism.2 and enter 25 deg in the Angle
field.
-
Click OK.
-
Right-click on Circular Pattern.1 on the
Specification Tree and select Circular Pattern.1 object >
Activate.
Note that the Draft has been created on every Prism (even the
patterned ones).
|
Right-click on Draft.1 in the
specification tree and select Parents/Children.
Note that Draft.1 is now located between
Added
Prism.2 and Circular Pattern.1.
|
Double-clicking the pattern feature shows
that the draft feature was used as the feature to pattern.
The pattern was modified due to the insertion
of the local modifier into the chain of local modifiers.
To insert a draft reflect local modifier between cavity prism and
pattern, it is necessary to deactivate the pattern then create the
draft local modifier then reactivate the pattern to get the required
effect. This is a good method when inserting a local modifier in a
chain of local modifiers.
