Hello Micke
This is how I work or would like .
I work in a Structural part as much as possible (and sheetmetal due to the radius limitation in the structural part, but that’s a different question). But like Cary wrote I’ve been working in quite a lot in sketch based program but also to Catia V4 which isn’t.
I like to be able to use the rollback state and go back in the tree and add draft angles and radius. I can go back and do changes and I feel like I’m in control. I work almost only with sketches on planes. In the cases I haven’t the sketches on planes they seems to liver their on life, if I change something else higher up in the tree they quite often move away (often 90 degree). I don’t think you will have this problem in Innovated part. What I miss is that I can’t extrude up to a plane just an instable surface.
I would like to work with Boolean operation. It’s possible both in structural and innovated part mode but it’s ridiculous hard or more or less impossible to follow the operations.
In Innovated it’s not possible go back to your “original” part/body and add features nor you can’t replace bodies you have to delete them and then add a new Boolean operation, in structural it’s very hard to do.
I have been trying to use Trim operations but it got it restrictions.
I’m quite new to IC and still learning.
