If you WAVE-Linked a solid model, even if it contains many features, the WAVE-Linked body itself is only a single feature. The original features are NOT carried over since it's the BODY that is being WAVE-Linked.

As mentioned before I am using Wave Geometry linker. We do not have a advanced wave license for this site.
When I wave a solid body (feature driven) into an assy, I do have features listed in the timestamp edit listing for editting that wave-linked body. We have been successful using this for many parts with the exception of 2 brackets. The model structure looks sound, however only extrude(7) is listed while editting the wave-linked body. The part has 14 features. Extrude(7) is the base feature with a subtract boolean and then 3 hole operations. If I remove parameters from the part and then add required features; those features do show up in the timestamp mark with edit wave-linked body - edit parameters. It appears "wave" has some problem with the boolean in this paticular file.
Pls see attached pdf of screen shot. Prior to modification of this part as said; only one of the features showed up.
The problem is to rely on a "technique" as a work around that involves editting wave linked body's timestamp. It is about consistency in regard to a problem that some of the time while editting parameters for a linked-body, the timestamp edit displays all features for the linked body and at other times the features do not show up in the timestamp listing for a waved body...
The pdf shows one that works well... What I was explaining was the situation we had where it didnt work so well.... in that case only one of 14 features was listed.... I would like to know what causes some linked bodies to list all features and why some do not.
