Manipulate "End of Part" marker in Inventor

Here's a handy modeling tip:

Part models in Autodesk Inventor are history-based. As a result, the browser shows you how a part was modeled by listing the features that were used to build it (Extrusion1, Hole2, etc.). At the bottom of this feature tree is an item labeled "End of Part". This end of part marker can be dragged and dropped anywhere within the list of features; features below the marker are suppressed. This can be useful for a couple reasons because it allows you to see exactly how a part was modeled so that you can learn from the experience of others or for the purpose of determining how to approach editing the model. Additionally, since new features in a model are placed immediately above the end of part, you can use this technique to create new features at specific locations within the feature tree.
