Extract iFeature dialog box

Access:

Ribbon: Manage tab Author panel Extract iFeature

Selected Features

Lists the features and sketches selected for the iFeature. Geometrically dependent features are listed by default but can be removed. You can rename geometric elements in the iFeature. The first sketched feature listed is the base feature of the iFeature. The sketch in the base feature is used to position the iFeature when it is placed.
	Add All parameters Restores parameters of the highlighted feature to the Size Parameters table.
	Remove all parameters Removes parameters for the highlighted feature from the Size Parameters table.

Size Parameters

Lists iFeature parameters selected for interface. You can select parameters in the expanded feature tree or from the graphics window.

• Name: Give the parameter a descriptive name. Choose a name that is useful when reusing the iFeature, such as the parameter function. The name appears in the browser when you place the iFeature.
• Value: The default is the current parameter value. The new value is restricted by the value in the Limit field.
• Limit: Restricts entries in the Value edit box. Click arrow to list options.
  • None: No restrictions are placed on the Value field.
  • Range: The Specify Range dialog box shows the parameter Name in its title bar. Specify minimum and maximum values, including less than, equal to, and infinity symbols. You can enter a default value. In the Minimum field, negative values allow the placed iFeature to change the depth direction or position of a sketch curve relative to an edge.
  • List: Enter values or paste from the Clipboard. Click in the Value field to enter a value; click below the last row to add another value. If values are pasted from a spreadsheet, values are placed on separate lines in the Value box. Values are sorted when the list is reopened.
• Prompt: The text entered in this box appears in a dialog box when the iFeature is placed. Enter descriptive instructions that clarify usage.

Position Geometry

Specifies the geometry in the iFeature that is used to position it on a part.
Name	Describes the position geometry, but the name does not change in the feature tree. The default is its name from the Selected Feature tree.
Prompt	Instructions for positioning the iFeature when it is placed in a part file. (Usually, instructions for positioning the iFeature on a plane or face.)

Advanced options on the context menu allow you to customize position geometry.
Make Independent	Creates separate entries for geometry shared by more than one feature.
Combine Geometry	Combines listings of geometry shared by more than one feature in a single entry.
