When you apply DimXpert dimensions to manufacturing features, DimXpert uses these methods in this order to recognize features:
- Model feature recognition
- Topology recognition

- Chamfer
- Cosmetic thread
- Certain extrudes (for pattern extraction)
- Fillet
- Hole Wizard hole
- Simple hole
- Certain patterns (bosses, cones, width, linear, circular, and mirror for pattern extraction)
