Cannot edit features or insert new features when part is in a simp rep

As the title says, when I'm in a Simp Rep of a part, I cannot edit any features or move the insert line / rollback bar. Is this... normal? Surely Creo doesn't only allow features to be edited in the Master Rep, right? That would be a complete mess to work with.

Hello,

 

This is correct.  Edit Definition and Insert Here are not available while a Simplified Representation.  Both commands do not appear in the context specific menus and Edit Definition is grayed out along with many other feature operations under Model > Operations.

Dynamic Edit/Edit Dimensions is still available though.

Hi,

it would be helpful if you create test model and upload it.

It happens on every part I make, and for some reason, PTC won't let me upload a part to this reply. I'm working in Windchill, and the only way to save a part out of Windchill is to save a backup, which makes it FILENAME.PRT.1, and this forum doesn't accept .1 filetypes. Is nothing easy with Creo?

Rename the file to remove the '.1' so the extension is just '.prt' or zip the file before uploading the zip file.

Working to product specification.

In order to modify the body, the software needs the full geometry loaded. A simplified rep does not load the full body of the model, so the software needs to load it all before making any changes.
