Draft Upgrade

Description
The tool upgrades the selected objects in different ways.

The Upgrade tool performs things such as creating faces and fusing different elements. This tool works with 2D Draft elements. To fuse 3D solids use Part Fuse and related Boolean operations of the Part Workbench, and PartDesign Boolean of the PartDesign Workbench.

The counterpart to this tool is the operation.



Usage

 * 1) Optionally select one or more objects.
 * 2) There are several ways to invoke the command:
 * 3) * Press the button.
 * 4) * Select the option from the menu.
 * 5) * Use the keyboard shortcut: then.
 * 6) If you have not yet selected an object: select an object in the 3D view.

Example
It is worth trying to upgrade a selection several times to see if a better result can be obtained. For example:
 * 1) Upgrading two Draft Lines connected at one end will result in a non-editable wire.
 * 2) Upgrading this element again will add a third line and close the non-editable wire.
 * 3) Upgrading this element again will add a face to the closed, non-editable wire.
 * 4) Upgrading this element again will turn it into a fully editable Draft Wire.
