Process Feature

You can make changes to a feature via the feature log in the ICN. Furthermore, you can also change parameters of a geometry like height, length, radius etc. via the parametric dimensions directly in the drawing. The relevant feature is then automatically adjusted.

You use the standard Windows procedures (click, Shift-click and Ctrl-click) to select the features in the feature log that you want to process and then call the desired function.

Change points

If you have used point options when, say, fitting standard parts, the point options used and their current coordinates are listed in the feature log.

To change a point, click the point twice.... and then specify the new point.

You can make direct changes to the values of coordinates (x, y and z) from the Absolute and Relative point options. They refer to the processing plane noted in the feature log. To change a coordinate, open the pocket calculator by double-clicking the relevant entry. Then, enter the new coordinate.

Note: The information in brackets behind the Point ... entry refers to the coordinate system of the log body and is purely informative.

Deactivate/ Activate feature

Logged features can be deactivated, i.e. they are not executed during construction (e.g. holes).

Deactivated features are not, however, irreversibly deleted from the feature log, but can be re-activated later.

To deactivate/activate a feature, choose the Deactivate/Activate function from the context menu.

Note: If the Calculate feature directly after change function is inactive in the feature configuration, you can only flag the feature for deactivation and activation in the context menu. In this case, a

D, for flagged for deactivation, or
A, for flagged for activation,

appears before the feature entry in the feature log. The deactivation/activation does not then take effect until the feature is recalculated
