Changing parents of construction features
The parents of construction features can be changed by deleting program steps and then recording new
steps to edit or recreate a construction, or simply by editing program steps to use different features as
parents. Generally, for simple corrections, this second method is quicker. To change a parent feature:
1 Expand the construction super step by clicking the + sign in front of the step.
In this example, a distance construction was
mistakenly made between Circle 14 and
Circle 15. The correct construction would have
been made between Circle 13 and Circle 14.
2 Double-click the Select... program step of the parent you wish to change to display the Find Feature
dialog box. In this example, Circle 15 must be changed to Circle 13.
3 The name of the current parent feature will be shown in the Name field. Clicking the Relative button
will display the relative position of the current parent feature in the program listing.
