It's not in WF3; maybe WF5. to chose the two curves and select Edit
Fill? It seems like that worked some time.
Selecting the edge and pressing Delete is not as intuitive as one might
think. Since the surface is bounded by the curves, eliminating one or
more of those curves should delete the surface that depends on it/them,
leaving only the remaining curves.
A good way to reason this through is to think of Pro/E, Creo as a
procedural modeler. You're not simply editing a model - you are creating
a procedure to create the model you want. The ability to edit the
procedure and have a model be the end result is what makes Pro/E, Creo
the software that it is. It doesn't have a way to delete part of an
existing feature yet, in the way that a straight B-Rep modeler does. In
the B-Rep modeler, of course, gone-is-gone. The main place Proe/E, Creo
has that does handle things like this is the Data Import Doctor, which
operates on non-procedural imported geometry. Everywhere else, you don't
really delete a feature, you delete the procedure that creates a
feature. That's how suppress works, just less permanent than delete.
Of the methods mentioned, the copy and paste method allows multiple
holes to be eliminated in one step, while the add-curve and blend takes
three or more steps, depending on the desire to merge the new surfaces
with the old ones. I know that Fill works when you create a sketch, but
will need to be merged to create a single surface.
The original surface likely has to stay as that is what the copy/paste
procedure is based on. It's why you won't be asked where it goes as it
is placed exactly as the original was placed.
