I work in a company that deals a lot with making cut extrudes in assemblies. We have to turn on propogate feature to parts for every cut we do. Is there a way to just keep this feature on?
When you want to add a feature to a single component in an assembly, it is better to create the feature in the part rather than the assembly. To do so, you can edit the part in context, or you can create the feature in the assembly and then propagate it to the part by selecting Propagate to part in the PropertyManager.
