About Feature Creation Mode
There are two feature creation modes you can
use while working in RevWorks. Active features are
those that are used directly in the creation of the components of your
SOLIDWORKS model. This is the most common type of feature and is the default
mode when you first use RevWorks. Active features are
designated with solid lines. Construction features
are reference or organizational geometry and are only indirectly used to create model
components. Construction
features are designated with dashed
lines. To better familiarize yourself with the creation of these two types of
geometry please read:
