Feature parameters

You can use the inbuilt components() function to loop over the features within a feature set. Each feature has the following parameters:

Name — Name of Feature.

ID — Id of Feature.

RootType — 'feature' as a string.

num_items — Number of sub-holes.

Type — Type of feature (pocket, slot, hole, boss).

Top — Top of feature, z-value relative to Origin.

Bottom — Bottom of feature, z-value relative to Origin.

Depth — Depth of feature, from top to bottom.

Diameter — Diameter of feature.

Draft — Draft angle.

Axis — Z axis of Feature.

For example:

// Print out the diameter of each hole
FOREACH f in components(entity('featureset','1')) {
    IF f.Type == "hole" {
        PRINT = f.name + " has a diameter of " + f.Diameter
    }
}

You can also use the components() function to iterate over the elements of compound holes, as follows:

ENTITY fset = entity('FeatureSet','')
PRINT ="Feature Set '" + fset.Name + "' has " +
fset.num_items + "
Features"
FOREACH feat IN components(fset) {
    IF feat.num_items > 0 {
        PRINT ="Feature '" + feat.Name + "' is a compound
        hole'"
        FOREACH sub IN components(feat) {
            PRINT ="Sub-hole '" + sub.Name + "' has diameter "
            + sub.Diameter
        }
    }   ELSE {
        PRINT ="Feature '" feat.Name + "' is a " + feat.Type
    }
}
