If the geometry of the part used to make the derived part changes, the geometry of the derived part also changes.
Adding an operation on the derived part does not affect the original part.
The operation of unfolding rules is automatically created with a sheet metal derived part.
If the derived part is no longer required to follow the modifications of the original geometry, copy / Paste should be used instead of the part function.
From a Strip document, the command create a Strip document.
