Create a Feature

After you import the part model and associate a Mech-Vision measurement solution for the part, you need to create a feature. The most commonly used features are circles and slots. This document describes how to create a circle feature and a slot feature. You can determine the type and quantity of features to create as needed based on this document.

  • You can review the drawings of the part to determine the type and quantity of features to create.

  • After you create a feature, if the you do not configure it, a red exclamation mark will appear next to the feature in the resource tree. This mark indicates that you have not configured nominal values for the feature, associated a Mech-Vision project for the feature, or the associated Mech-Vision project has not been opened in Mech-Vision. Once the nominal values are configured and the Mech-Vision project is associated and opened, the red exclamation mark will automatically disappear. For more information, see Configure Nominal Values for the Feature and Associate Mech-Vision Measurement Project for the Feature.
