What do the colors of the text above and below a selected feature in the Part Navigator indicate?

The colors of the text above and below a selected feature in the Part Navigator provide a visual indication of the parent-child relationships among the features. In CAD modeling, understanding these relationships is crucial for managing dependencies between features.

When a feature is created in a modeling environment, it can depend on previous features (parent) to define its geometry or attributes. Conversely, a feature can be a parent to other features (children) that rely on it for their own definitions. The color coding in the Part Navigator helps users quickly identify which features are parents and which are children, facilitating easier navigation and a clearer understanding of the model structure. This visual representation is particularly useful for complex assemblies where numerous relationships are established.

Other options focus on different aspects related to features but do not accurately describe the primary function of the color-coded text in the context of feature relationships. For instance, related expressions, Boolean features, and editable/non-editable features address specific functionalities and attributes but do not encompass the broader parent-child relational structure that the color coding specifically highlights.
