I am looking at a print that has a leader pointing to a hex shaped feature that says "SW6". This may be a stupid question but can anyone tell me what this means?

No idea, initially I thought maybe it was a bad print and should be SWG but that makes no sense.

KENAT, probably the least qualified checker you'll ever meet...
 
Is the "feature" a hole or boss, or a separate component, or just a reference to an area?

Could it be an unusual attempt to specify a Spot Weld?

Check out the 3rd item on page 7 (SA400-V 24.5062). It seems to confirm my guess.

CBL,

Makes sense, I'll "assume" that is what they mean and run with it. Thanks.

The SW note definitely is the size of the hex. I believe SW means Spanner Width, but regardless, you know what it is.
