SOLIDWORKS Feature Paint Example
For example, let's say I created multiple fillet features on a model but decide a different size fillet would work better. Do I have to edit them all one at a time? Nope! This is where this tool shines.
Select the feature to copy. Then, select the feature to copy their properties to. In the box below your selections, you will see the feature properties getting copied.
