Different behavior of create part.
from part wb new objects are not created in the active part. in the draft wb new objects are created in the active part. is there a possibility to adjust the behavior?

Re: Different behavior of create part.
you can bring the cube with the mouse in the Part. However when you make a basefeature to a body in that Part the cube automatically moves out of the Part.

Re: Different behavior of create part.
thanks for the information. that makes it clearer. in my opinion it makes sense to create the branches in the parts tree at the end of a construction.
Re: Different behavior of create part.
I would appreciate this as well, if new objects were created inside of an active part. If this is not wanted, the part could be decativated. It is not only primitives, but also results of booleans. It's of course not too big an issue as long as the Part container isn't moved, because the results can be moved all together, but things are different, if the container is no longer at (0,0,0). Then it is desirable to see the result immediately, and for that it is necessary after each operation to move the result into the body.thomas-neemann wrote: ↑Sun Oct 17, 2021 7:26 am from part wb new objects are not created in the active part. in the draft wb new objects are created in the active part. is there a possibility to adjust the behavior?
I see this as a feature request and move it to Open discussion forum.

Re: Different behavior of create part.
Unless I have a specific need for a Std_Part object, I simply don't use them.
I fact, I almost never use them, in general. In the assembly workbenches, on the other hand, they are essential.
It is up to individuals workflow.
But, I tend to be the odd man out.

Re: Different behavior of create part.
I use them rarely as well, and I see many models here which have just one body in a Part, making the Part completely obsolete. But in the rare cases where I use them, the behaviour described here would be welcome.

Re: Different behavior of create part.
My comments typically refer to master.
Yes, I understand A3 can be installed as an addon to master...
I use A2+ and other than a cursory look now and again, I haven't messed with A3.
I believe the Assembly object in A3 is similar to the Std_Part object, though the internal structure is somewhat different. (But, this perception may be due to my cursory knowledge of A3... )

if you push it back again, the resulting misalignment problem is also solved
