i have imported model from iges, and its surface with some rounds...and i want to draft some surface..how to solve it?? as far as i know..we cant make draft with rounded model...
It is possible to delete the round surfaces while redefining the import geometry, and extend the surfaces so the round is removed. The surfaces can be extended as if the round was never there using the heal geometry functions. It can get complicated...You can also look into offset surfaces with draft and then build the features that way. Either one is probably a long process.
You might be better off trying to salvage some of the surfaces as copies and building the new ones and combining them...
in this case..i got to benchmark with Unigraphic. In UG, the surface will be trimmed automatically when we delete the round, so it will be form sharp edge. is it possible with pro/E ??
if you have another software that can pull out the rounds then by all means do that and import the model without them. I think SW allows you to remove the rounds, add draft and then put it back. wish list for pro-e I suppose...
I have tried that function. Have you been successful using it on surfaces that are not perpendicular? If the surface curves or is at all complex it seems to have "issues"

The new Remove Feature allows user to remove surface geometry from models for downstream uses like structural analysis or casting creation.

Benefits and Description
Description
The Remove feature is a new Object-Action only tool. When the surface geometry allows, it removes user-selected surfaces from a solid or surface quilt and re-intersects adjacent surfaces to fill the resulting gap appropriately. Remove can replace import surfaces and parametric feature surfaces. A Remove solid feature is available in the model tree so geometry removal can be rolled back with suppress, delete, or insert operations.
Benefits
Remove surface is valuable for removing static geometry such as rounds from import features so these surfaces may be reapplied as parametric Pro/ENGINEER features. Users may also find the remove surface tool useful for filling in holes and other machined features to quickly make cast parts or simplification prior to structureal analyses.
