Replace a sketch defining string

1. Open syn1_edit_1.

2. Use the Part Navigator to examine how the part is built.

Since the designer expected significant changes to the part, sketches, extruded
bodies, and trim features are used so that the part surfaces can be replaced.

3. In the Part Navigator, right-click Sketch (9) PAD_PROFILE and choose Show.

4. Change to a static wireframe rendering style.

arc 2.

8. Click OK.

The shape of the pad updates and preserves the shape of the blends and taper.
