What it does
Every feature can be edited later through a floating box that is pre-filled with the existing values. Click OK and the part recalculates at the feature's original position in the history.
Where to find it
- Double-click a feature in the Design Explorer
- Right-click a feature (in the Design Explorer or on its face) › Edit Feature
