What can prove it ...?
Right click on the foot indent in the feature tree and select parent/child
"edit feature" still not there ..? and a picture of a lock still not lost ..?
Can you report this to your VAR, seems like a bug from older version.
Thank you
Just found out the reason : Solution Id: S-058345
The form tool was redesigned and highly improved for SolidWorks 2012. Parts with inserted form tools created before SolidWorks 2012 will display a lock image in the FeatureManager tree.
What does this mean? It means that these tools cannot be feature edited and use the new SolidWorks 2012 form tool FeatureManager. However, their sketches can be edited. These tools will also display a broken external reference symbol "-> ?".
Update these "locked" tools by right mouse button clicking on then, select "Replace Form Tool" and select the same tool. All the existing form tools constraints will carry over to the new tool.
Victor,
If you received this part from someone else, then I would guess it's locked because the form tool for that feature isn't available on your PC or can no longer be located if you created it.
If you right click on the foot indent feature there is an option to Replace Form Tool.
Hi Kevin,
I've tried to "replace the form tool" but still the same ( image padlock ). unless I make new again (final solution). if you can give a more specific answer ..? What version available in this feature ..?
Best Regards
I believe the lock symbol has to do with the parent/child relationship.
