ASM hole recognition

You can use the ASM Hole Recognition page of the Import wizard to recognize holes in imported Autodesk Shape Manager parts.

ASM hole recognition is different from Feature Recognition because it uses additional data from the imported model, instead of using just the solid data. This enables you to recognize non-geometric information, such as threads for tapped holes.

To complete this page:

  1. To use Inventor hole recognition, select Use ASM to extract information about the hole types and dimensions.
  2. Select Suppress recognized holes in the imported model to suppress the holes after they have been recognized. This removes the holes from the solid model so they are not recognized again if you use Feature Recognition.
  3. If you do not want to perform hole recognition using ASM, select Use FeatureCAM to recognize holes later.
  4. Click Finish to close the wizard.
