In Freestyle, you now have the ability to lock selected mesh elements, such as faces, edges, and vertices, to keep specific portions of a shape untouched during modifications. The locked elements are visually distinct from the unlocked ones, indicating that they cannot be altered.

  • It is important to note that locking mesh elements is not available in resolution mode.

Creo Parametric 10.0.0.0

User Interface Location: In Freestyle, select the mesh elements of a shape, right-click in the graphics window, and then click  Lock to lock the mesh elements. Similarly, click  Unlock on the shortcut menu to unlock the mesh elements.

Benefits

This enhancement provides greater flexibility when working on shapes, allowing you to lock certain elements in place to preserve their definition while modifying others. Previously, it was only possible to lock the entire shape, but now you can lock only the necessary parts, improving both productivity and the user experience.
