Hi All,

I have a part created in very old version of creo.The axis "AXS_HOLE_A" in it is built up using reference of two planes DTM33 & DTM34. See attached screenshot.

I want to edit location of those two planes. However I am not able to find those two planes in the new latest version of creo. Can anyone please assist how to locate those two planes?

Thank you very much in advance!

Just a wild guess, but maybe those planes were created "on-the-fly", that is as an internal sub-feature of the axis?

When you have the axis definition dialog box up with those two planes referenced, did you try picking one of them and right mouse button down to "information"? It will tell you about the plane and if I'm right about it you'll see something like "FEATURE IS EMBEDDED IN MAIN FEATURE ID XXXX"

Alternatively, you could just define two new planes, place them above the axis in the model tree, then redefine that axis using the two new planes.

Hi,

I guess you can:

display model info ... it saves .inf file into working directory
open .inf file in Notepad and search for DTM33 & DTM34
