Automatic Feature Naming


---

Recommended Posts

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.
