| General |
Overwrite existing file |
Create the new features in the
existing part document, and replace the original imported
body. |
| |
Create new file |
Create the new features in a
new part document |
| |
Prompt for feature recognition as part
opens. |
When selected, feature
recognition begins automatically when you open a part as an
imported solid body in a SOLIDWORKS part document from another
system. |
| Dimensions/Relations |
Enable Auto Dimensioning of Sketches |
Automatically adds dimensions
to recognized features. |
| |
Scheme |
Sets the dimensioning scheme
as Baseline, Chain, or Ordinate. |
| |
Placement |
Sets the Horizontal and Vertical placement of
dimensions. |
| |
Relations |
|
Add constraints to sketch
|
Adds a Fix relation to each entity
in a sketch, fully defining the sketch. If this
check box is not selected, the sketch entities
remain under defined. FeatureWorks recognizes
concentric relations.
|
See Recognized Sketch
Constraints for details about recognition of relations and
constraints.
|
| Resize Tool |
Recognition Order |
Sets the order in which the
resize tool recognizes features. For example, if you placed
Cut Revolve above
Hole, the software
tries to first recognize the feature as a cut revolve. If that
recognition fails, then the software tries to recognize the
feature as a hole. |
| |
Automatically recognize child features when using Edit
Feature |
While using Edit Feature to recognize faces
on imported bodies, recognizes child features of the face.
Select Yes, No, or Prompt. |
| Advanced Controls |
Diagnose |
|
Allow failed feature creation
|
Allows the software to create
features that have rebuild errors. If this check box
is not selected, the
software fails to recognize any features if one or
more features have a rebuild error.
|
|
Perform body difference check
|
Compares the original imported body
to the new body after feature recognition. A body
difference occurs only if you delete one or more
faces during feature recognition. This check box is
available only if you select Create new file under
File.
|
|
| |
Performance |
|
Do not perform feature intrusion
check
|
When you select this check box, the
software does not check for features that intrude
upon one another during Automatic Feature
Recognition.
|
|
Do not perform body check
|
When you do not select this check
box, the software periodically checks the body
during feature recognition. If this check box is
selected, the software does not check the body for
any errors (resulting in faster performance.)
|
|
| |
Holes |
|
Recognize holes as wizard holes
|
Recognizes holes as Hole Wizard
holes. FeatureWorks supports recognition of:
- Counterbore, Countersink, and
Tap (ANSI
Metric standard only)
- Pipe tap (ISO standard only)
- Generic Hole type Hole Wizard
features
|
All other types of Hole Wizard holes are
recognized as Hole Wizard Legacy type holes.
To recognize Hole Wizard
holes, FeatureWorks must be able to reference the SOLIDWORKS
Toolbox’s swbrowser.sldedb
file. For example, if you reference a shared toolbox on a
network, you must be connected to that network to be able to
recognize Hole Wizard holes using FeatureWorks.

Automatic Recognition |
|
Combine Fillets
|
When selected, automatically
combines fillets with the same radius into a single
feature.
|
|
Combine Chamfers
|
When selected, automatically
combines chamfers with the same angle and width into
a single feature.
|
|
Combine Holes
|
When selected, automatically
combines holes with similar parameters on the same
plane into a single feature.
