Parameters

Type

Feature name ID as defined in swFeatureNameID_e:

• swFmBoundingBox (bounding box)
• swFmCirPattern (circular pattern)
• swFmCurvePattern (curve-driven pattern)
• swFmDerivedLPattern (derived-driven pattern)
• swFmDimPattern (variable/dimension pattern)
• swFmFillPattern (fill pattern)
• swFmGroundPlane (ground plane)
• swFmLibraryFeature (library)
• swFmLocalChainPattern (chain component pattern)
• swFmLocalCirPattern (circular component pattern)
• swFmLocalCurvePattern (curve-driven component pattern)
• swFmLocalLPattern (linear component pattern)
• swFmLocalSketchPattern (sketch-driven component pattern)
• swFmLPattern (linear pattern)
• swFmNormalCut (sheet metal normal cut)
• swFmRefCurve (projection curve)
• swFmRefSurface (surface sweep)
• swFmSketchPattern (sketch-driven pattern)
• swFmSweep (boss sweep)
• swFmSweepCut (cut sweep)
• swFmSweepThread (sweep thread)
• swFmTabAndSlot (tab and slot)
• swFmTablePattern (table pattern)

Return Value

For pattern, sweep, bounding box, ground plane, projection curve, sheet metal normal cut, and tab/slot features only, this method initializes the feature data objects with default data. For library and thread features, you must initialize feature data objects using specific initialize methods. See the See Also section.
