A new dialog box displays providing you with a solution. You can deactivate the draft and extract its geometry. To do so, click Yes.
V5R8
Draft.1 appears as deactivated in the specification tree. A node "Extracted Geometry" is displayed in the tree too. This category includes the elements created by the application, namely five surfaces.
You can now use Generative Shape Design capabilities to complete the draft.
