Wire EDM feature recognition

There are two forms of interactive feature recognition available for wire EDM features.

For two axis, you can project the vertical surfaces from a solid model.

In the New feature wizard:

  1. Select the 2 axis feature type, check Extract with feature recognition, and click Next.
  2. Select the solid and click Next.
  3. Geometry is created from the vertical surfaces of the solid as shown below. Chain the curves you want to use in the Feature and complete the wizard.

4-axis features can be recognized from a collection of ruled surfaces.

In the New feature dialog:

  1. Select the 4 axis feature type, check Extract with feature recognition, and click Next.
  2. Select the boundary curve in the Surface boundaries dialog and then complete the wizard.
