How to select the faces of a feature

How to select the faces of a feature

How to select the faces of a feature

(OP)
Hi together
I like to select all faces of a feature (like a hole pattern) to give all of them a name (Edit --> Properties) without selecting each single face. I didn't found a way to do this. Is this impossible?
Thanks for your feedback

RE: How to select the faces of a feature

What version of NX are you on?

RE: How to select the faces of a feature

(OP)
Sorry I forgot this. We use NX6

RE: How to select the faces of a feature

Either picking them individually, or with a rectangle, appears to be the only way to go - make sure your filter is set to "faces".
NX7.5 appears to have some inhancements that may help you, including picking instances (and not single faces) in syncronous modeling.

RE: How to select the faces of a feature

(OP)
Selecting them individualy is annoying and a solution in synchronous modeling doesn't help because I need this feature-face-selection function in Edit --> Properties.
It is annoying, that in this function "Properties" the selection Dialog is limited to this simple "Class Selection" Dialog. In other functions, NX6 allows the selection of feature faces.  

RE: How to select the faces of a feature

You can do Crl+J and from class selection dialog Select type->face then click Detail filtering (at the bottom of the dialog) and Highlight only Cylinder, give OK and pick the hole faces by putting window, deselct other cylidrical faces that u don't want.

Yes, I agree that there should have been some option to define criteria (by user) in the Class selection dialog. Criterias can be
All faces (edges) having some diameter (>=, <=, == )
All blend faces having same (range of values) blend value. and so on.
