Hope this is a reasonable wish...
The reason I want this is, I work for a tool and die company. There are situations that we may have to move stuff around in the die design, even after the die is built. While we move and update the design, well, the design is updated, but we don't know what went where. I might have moved the new feature to a location which still would interfere with the current feature (eg: moving a set of tap holes; the new location might interfere with the current pattern). On a big die shoe with hundreds of holes and cutouts, design changes like this are a real headache.
I'd like to have an option to just right click on a feature and say 'Freeze'. That should cut that feature from all the references, parent or child or whatever. Ofcourse it can give a warning about the affected features and let us handle it like a 'Suppress'.
Its pretty much like having an 'image' of the previous location. It'd be even nice if Pro grays out the 'frozen' feature to make it stick out. Also it should not be allowed to be referenced for other features and what not.
Anybody else here wished for something like this??
