[Sa...] Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) Is there a way to have the feature name include information like - Diameter of a Circle - Z Value of a Plane - Diameter and Length of a Cylinder I am regularly inspecting hydraulic motor housing and manifolds that have many holes, with many different diameters. It would be great if as i am creating the feature the feature name can automatically include some detail of the feature that i am creating. My current workflow is to create a set of features and group them, then rename them like so 'CRL 5.0 #1, CRL 5.0 #2, CRL 5.0 #3' - 'CRL 8.6 #1, CRL 8.6#2' and so on. I find that i spend more of my time naming feature over setting measurement strategies and creating characteristics. If this is not possible I am open to advise on how anyone else handles the naming process making it less tedious. Most of the drawings I am working to at not ballooned, but I have been considering implementing ballooning as I can see how it would make the naming easier. Note - I do not have PCM Any help is greatly appreciated. Edited January 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Cr...] Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I use the Find/Replace feature a lot. I've also dabbled with Name Default. If you go to Extras-Environment-Default Name, Check Activate Name Allocation, open the folder, open the NamePatternsDefault text file and modify the feature/characteristics name to your liking. What this can do: If you have 50 .250 holes, you can change the default name for circle to Circle .250_. Then when you pick each .250 hole it will automatically be called Circle .250_1, Circle .250_2 and so on. It took a lot of trial and error to get it to work how I wanted. The downside is you have to edit the text file any time you want to name different features/characteristics. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Sa...] Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 I have messed around the the Default Names. I was hoping for something more automated, I come from using Esprit CAM where you can make just about anything and everything a formula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
