- Defeature Rule Sets
Using the Defeature Silhouette method, you can create a set of rules to simplify the components in a model. You can specify criteria for component selection, defeature method, and a defeature orientation. You can enclose the components in one body and propagate visual properties.
- Propagating Visual Properties in Defeature Groups
You can include appearances and textures in a defeatured group.
- Repairing Missing References in Linear or Circular Component Patterns
You can repair missing direction references in linear component patterns and circular component patterns.
- Mate References
When creating mate references, you can select Create mates only when names match to create mate references only when the mate reference names are the same. The name match applies to primary, secondary, and tertiary reference entities.
- Auto-Repair for Missing Mate References
Improvements to Auto Repair for concentric and parallel mates add more criteria for identifying replacement entities.
- Assigning Component References to Top-Level Components
In the Component References dialog box, you can enter component references for all top-level components. You can use the tree order from the FeatureManager design tree as the component reference.
- Specifying a Prefix and Suffix for Components
You can use a system option to specify a default prefix and a default suffix for opposite-hand versions of mirrored components. You can also specify a default prefix for virtual components created from external files.
