Including and excluding features for a process plan

When you create a feature, it is automatically included for manufacturing in the current Setup of the process plan.

Sometimes, it is convenient to exclude a feature from the manufacturing plan without deleting the feature.

The Include In Plan and Exclude from Plan options of the Edit menu toggle the inclusion of the selected feature in the manufacturing plan.

You can use the Process Plan dialog to select which features and Setups to include in the plan, and easily correct any oversights you might make with the include and exclude options.

• Including a feature in the process plan
• Excluding a feature from the process plan
• Checking if a feature is included in the process plan

Note: If a feature is not included in the process plan, the toolpaths, and the NC code generated by the post processor exclude that feature entirely.
