The new profile is sketched inside an existing extrusion domain.

1. Add a closed profile, a circle for example, inside Extrusion domain.2.

3. Double-click MultiPad.1. The Feature Definition Error window displays, providing the details of the modification.

   When sketching a profile inside an existing extrusion domain, the application deletes that existing domain and replaces it with a new one. This is why the message window displays :

   
   
   • 1 extrusion domain deleted (Extrusion domain.2)
   • 2 extrusion domains created (Extrusion domain.9, which replaces Extrusion domain.2 and Extrusion domain.10)

4. Click OK to close the window.

   The Multi-Pad Definition dialog box reappears. Extrusion domain.2 is no more displayed. On the contrary, two new extrusion domains Extrusion domain.9 and Extrusion domain.10 are indicated with 0mm as their default thickness.

   
   
   

5. Select Extrusion domain.9 if not already done and define 30mm as the length value.

6. Select Extrusion domain.10, that is the circle, and define 60mm as the length value.

7. Click OK to confirm.

   Multi-pad.1 is now composed of nine pads.

   
   
   

A profile is deleted from the existing extrusion domain.

1. Double-click Sketch.2 and for example, delete Extrusion Domain.6. (a small rectangle).

   
   
   

2. Quit the Sketcher: the Update Diagnosis dialog box that is displayed mentions that the application has detected that the initial sketch has been modified:

   Multipad.1 : Impacting modifications to the profile have been detected.
   You may edit the feature to take them into account.
