Generic Feature Command Format

All generic features have XYZ and IJK values. They may have ANGLE, DIAMETER, RADIUS, or DISTANCE values depending on the type assigned to the feature.

The Nominal / Measured Values toggle button indicates the values that are used in the generic feature.

The command line in the Edit window (a cone is shown) is as follows:

feature_name       =GENERIC/TOG1,TOG2,  TOG3, TOG4
                    NOM/XYZ,x_cord,y_cord,z_cord
                    MEAS/XYZ,x_cord,y_cord,z_cord
                    NOM/IJK,i_cord,j_cord,k_cord
                    MEAS/IJK,i_cord,j_cord,k_cord
                    [RADIUS/radius] | [DIAMETER/diameter]
                    [ANGLE/ang]
                    [DISTANCE/dist]

TOG1 =POINT, PLANE, LINE, CIRCLE, SPHERE, CYLINDER, CONE, SLOT, or NONE

TOG2 = This indicates whether the generic feature is alignment dependent or independent.

TOG3 = This indicates whether the feature uses Polar or Rectangular coordinates.

TOG4 = This indicates whether the feature is an IN (hole) or OUT (stud) feature.

[ ] = The options shown in brackets are discretionary and are available based on the type assigned to the feature by TOG1. RADIUS and DIAMETER are mutually exclusive representations for the value represented as the radius or the diameter.
