In User defined feature you can select only the features in the part body but u can't select the part
body.Where as I Power copy you can select the part body and sub elements in part body.

Once you retrieve the component using catalog, Power copy component will be opened in separate
body where as User defined feature will be opened in part body itself.

sreeramCreating a Power Copy Containing a Loop  

To perform the scenario, you will need the following files:

 

The KwrLoop1.CATPart is made up of

a surface (2) and a solid (1) that
symbolizes a hole. This hole is inserted
into a User Feature (UDF) named
Clearance_Hole_UDF for a later
instantiation. The User Feature (UDF)
has 3 different inputs (a point, an axis
and a surface). 2 parameters of the User
Feature (UDF) are published (3):

• Clearance=4mm
• Diameter=8mm

   
The KwrLoop3.CATPart file is made
up of a pad and a surface and of 24
points (1) inserted into a list. Line.2 is
the instantiation axis (2).
This .CATPart file is the one that will
contain the loop contained in the Power
Copy that will be instantiated into
KwrLoop4.CATPart.

   
 The KwrLoop4.CATPart is made up of
a pad and a surface (3) and of 17 points
(2) inserted into a list. Line.1 is the
instantiation axis (1). It will contain the
instantiated loop and the holes.

Before creating a loop in a CATPart document, make sure that Manual input is
unchecked in the Part Number field of the Tool

In User defined feature you can select only the features in

the part body but u can't select the part body.Where as I

Power copy you can select the part body and sub elements in part body.

Once you retrieve the component using catalog, Power copy

component will be opened in separate body where as User

defined feature will be opened in part body itself.
