NX Do I need to perform a Renew Feature on all parts when moving to a new version of NX?

In NX 11 a new command was introduced called "Renew Feature".  This command allows the user to upgrade existing features that were created in an older version of NX.


Is it necessary to perform a renew feature on all features in parts when moving to a new version of NX?

Solution

There is definitely no requirement to renew all features in a new version. All existing feature can be edited and updated in the latest version without being renewed. 
The renew feature command is intended to be used on a part by part , feature by feature basis and not as a global operation on all parts. 
Performing a renew feature can occasionally cause changes to geometry so it is best to perform the renew on specific features only when needed. For example, some features have new options added that require a renew to access. Using the renew operation simplifies the process so the user no longer has to recreate, replace and delete the original feature.
