Options > Manufacturing > AFR Options

Use the AFR Options page to specify how features are recognized and created during feature recognition.

Create face feature — Select this option to create a Face feature to automatically level the top of the part.

Create hole pattern — Select this option if you want to group Holes into Patterns.

Bottom radius suppression — Select this option to ignore the radius at the bottom of a Pocket.

Maximum Hole diameter — This is the threshold between Holes and Sides. For cylinders larger than the value entered, a Side feature is created instead of a Hole feature.

Create 3D feature — Select this option to create a 3D feature.

Add rough operation — Select this option to add a rough operation.

Single feature, single operation — Select this option to create all found features as one feature with one operation.

Single feature, multiple operation — Select this option to create all found features as one feature with multiple operations.

Multiple feature — Select this option to create multiple features. This uses more memory.

Display error messages if recognition fails — Select this option to receive an error message if recognition fails.

Use edge-based FR — If feature recognition is not working correctly for your solid, select this option to use the body outline of a solid for feature recognition, instead of using the faces. This may give you better feature recognition results, but it is slower than the other method.
