Change Feature Internal ID

[hdasilva]

Hi,

Does someone know a way to externally change a feature's internal ID?

For example:

I have an assembly with 3 Parts.

Base - A solid model, with a solidify(cut) feature.

Cylinder - A solid model with a Quilt.

Star - A solid model with a Quilt.

The solidify feature is cuting the "Base", having the "Cylinder" Quilt has reference.

I want to be able somehow, to externally change the ID in the solidify feature, so that when i open the assembly, and regenerate, the "Base" is cut by the "Star".

@

Thanks for any help

Hi Martin.

Thanks for your response.

I've been using Creo for 3 years. I am comfortable with the basic operations.

What I  want, is to be able to somehow (maybe with programming), to change the internal ID of a feature.

Imagine that instead of 1 part, i want to cut 47 parts. I would have to mannualy change all of the solidify features. But if i could change the Quilt ID, it would be much easier.

I know that i could resolve this problem with other features, like the Cut Out, but i really want to be able to change the internal ID:

Thanks again!
