When I convert block from Virtual to Feature some cavities get relocated or corrupted. How can I fix the issue?
After converting a block from Virtual to Feature, do some of your cavities look like the image above? Then, you may need to change one of the settings before converting.
Go to SOLIDWORKS Options > Sketch and uncheck “Auto-rotate view normal to sketch plane on sketch creation and sketch edit” before running Convert.
