The following options are available on the
Feature Recognition Options page when using the
New Feature wizard to automatically recognize features from solids.
These options are available for Boss, Pocket and Side features:

-
Merge features of the same height into a single feature — Select this option to create one feature with multiple boundary curves, or deselect it to create separate features.
-
Add all new features into a group if there is more than one — Select this option to create a
group of features, or deselect it to create individual features.
These options are available for Chamfer features:
-
Add all new features into a group — Select this option to create a
group of features, or deselect it to create individual features.
-
Create chamfers (deburr) with width — Enter the width of the chamfers you want to create.
-
Exclude chamfer if curve is a single, closed circle — Select this option if the model contains small holes that you do not want to chamfer. Enter the minimum size of hole on which you want to create a chamfer.
-
Largest tool diameter — Surfaces within this distance of the Chamfer feature are selected as check surfaces to ensure they are not gouged when machining the Chamfer. Use this option to prevent including unnecessary check surfaces in the feature that would not be affected. It does not affect tool selection.
