Suspending Rebuilding While in Part Document

[toycept]

Every time an operation is performed the part document is auto rebuilding.
Is there a way to turn this off. I know "Verification on Rebuild" is for assembly
and that is turned off....but I am in part mode.

Thanks

At the bottom of the feature tree, drag the horizontal blue bar up to where you want to lock the features for rebuild.

toycept,

What SW version are you using? SW12 and up has a Feature Freeze function.

thanks for the follow up. Dragging the "blue bar up" didn't really do it as that just
suspended those features below the blue bar (as they hadn't been created at that point)....but what did work
was lowering the freeze bar at the top of the feature tree down to the last feature on the tree.
Your suggestion led me to try that....so thanks very much.

Hi CBL.... using 2015. Yes... as per previous post...the freeze bar helped. I don't know why
this particular part decided to start rebuilding after every operation... but lowering the freeze bar
stopped the rebuilds. Thanks

Oops! My bad. Sorry, I meant drag the bar from the top for the freeze bar. DOH!
