Creating Feature Sets in NX4

Creating Feature Sets in NX4

Creating Feature Sets in NX4

(OP)
I ran across this in this forum a while back, but since I didn't use it, I lost it...
Can anyone refresh my memory?
Thanks.

RE: Creating Feature Sets in NX4

Not sure I understand the question.  I do not believe that NX uses anything called Feature Sets....might you mean Group Feature or Render Sets?  A description of what you're wanting to do might help as well.

I found it. It's under Format/Group Features. It allows one to group several Arrays. The result of which, are called a "Feature Set".
Just playing with it a few, I found You can edit all those arrays in one screen, you can suppress them(uncheck from Part Navigator) freeing up rebuild time.
I like it.

The other cool thing with Group Feature is you can group a swept feature or a trim and then instance the group.  These features cannot be instanced outside of a group.

Yes, Group Feature allows for many things to be Instanced that cannot be Arrayed normally with Feature Array....I don't think Trimmed Sheets can be Instanced due to the region point (remove or keep), but Trim Body can.

However, this will be used short-term because Geometry Array in NX will Array just about anything associatively (solids, sheets, curves, points, datums).
