There are a couple of things that could be done to streamline the workflow in writing Feature Relations. In the first place, rather than selecting TOOLS>RELATIONS>FEATURE> and picking the feature to be modified, why not pick the feature in question, then use the Right Mouse Button menu to give us the option to write a relation for that feature? Thats maybe 2 picks vs. 5, plus the mouse hardly needs to move anywhere on the screen, as opposed to the current method where we are required to move around all over clicking menu options.
The second thing about Feature Relations is when I use a parameter in the relation, it always reverts back to the active part (or assembly) level and again I have to navigate down to the feature level to indicate that I want to use a feature parameter in my feature relation. MOST of the time, when writing a Feature Relation, I am using feature parameters defined in the feature for which I am writing the relation, so why not have the default parameter choices come from the current object for which I am writing the relation (which in this case is the feature)?
