Advanced Sorting and Filtering
Cumulative sort and filtering capabilities are available based on geometry
criteria (Direction, Faces, and Feature Type), Machining Status (Machined/Not
Machined/All), and so on.
- Machinable Milling Features Only
Machinable Milling Features comprise Prismatic Machining Area and Prismatic
Rework Area features. They is sorted by their Name and filtered by their Machining Status. - Name
- Sorts all the features by name, in ascending
alphanumeric order (from A to Z).
- Machining Status
- Filters the features by their machining status.
- All
- Applies no filter and displays all the features.
By default, All is selected. - Machined
- Displays all the features that have Machining Operations attached to them.
- Not Machined
- Displays all the features
with no Machining Operation attached to them.
- Machinable Axial Feature Only
Machinable Axial Features are axial features created by Prismatic Machining
Preparation Assistant, Machinable Area features created by DPM Machining
Process Planner, and Machining Patterns.
- Sort By Criteria 1, Sort By Criteria 2
- Four sort criteria are available: Name, Direction, Face, Feature type, and Diameter.
- You can combine the criteria of both lists.
- All criteria are available for Sort By Criteria 1. Only those not selected in Sort By Criteria 1 are available for Sort By Criteria 2
- Name
- Sorts all the features by name, in ascending
alphanumeric order (from A to Z).
By default, Name is selected. - Direction
- Sorts all the
features by direction:
- The features closer to
the Z axis (higher Z values) are given the precedence.
- If the Z value is the same
for the features, the features closer to Y axis (Higher Y value) are given
the precedence
- If the Y value is also the same for the features, the features
closer to X axis (Higher X value) are given the precedence.
- Face
- Sorts all the features
based on the top face ID, in ascending order.
- Feature Type
- Sorts all
the features by their type.
Diameter Sorts all the features by Diameter, in ascending order
- Machining Status
- Filters the features by their machining status.
- All
- Applies no filter and displays all the features.
By default, All is selected. - Machined
- Displays all the features that have Machining Operations attached to them.
Notes:
- If there is a pattern to which any manufacturing activity is attached,
all the axial features in the pattern are also shown as
Machined in Manufacturing View.
- As the Machining Operation is not directly attached
to these axial features, you cannot see the Machining Operation below these
features, only below the pattern.
- Not Machined
- Displays all the features
with no Machining Operation attached to them.
- Pattern
- Filters the features by their pattern.
- All
- Applies no filter and displays all the features.
By default, All is selected. - Part of Pattern
- Displays all
the features, that are part of one or more machining patterns.
- Not Part of Pattern
- Displays all the features, that are not part of any machining pattern
- Direction
- Filters the features by the direction you define from the context menu:
The combination box gives the option to select Equal or Not Equal. By default, the option Equal is selected and the selection is retained (in the setting) for one session of the process. When the process is opened again the option Equal is the default attribute. - Select by Feature
- Uses the direction of a feature you select in the Manufacturing View, and displays all the features having the same direction.
Note:
Since patterns can have multiple directions, they are not selectable. For machinable
area features, the parameters XDir, YDir, and ZDir are used to identify the
direction of the feature.
By default, Select by Feature is selected. - Select by Edge
- Uses the direction of an edge you select on a part, and displays all the features having the same direction.
- Select by Face
- Uses the direction of a face you select on a part, and displays all the features having the same direction.
- Faces
- Displays all the features in a top face you select from the context menu:
The combination box gives the option to select Equal or Not Equal. By default, the option Equal is selected and the selection is retained (in the setting) for one session of the process. When the process is opened again the option Equal is the default attribute. - Select by Feature
- Uses the top face of a feature you select in the Manufacturing View, and displays all the features in that face.
Note:
Since patterns can have multiple top faces, they are not selectable.
By default, Select by Feature is selected. - Select by Faces
- Displays all the features in the faces (single or several) you select.
- Feature Type
- Displays all the features of the same type as the feature you have selected in the Manufacturing View
The combination box gives the option to selectEqual or Not Equal. By default, the option Equal is selected and the selection is retained (in the setting) for one session of the process. When the process is opened again the option Equal is the default attribute. Note:
Since patterns can have features of different types, they are not selectable.
- Time Stamp
-
All Machinable Axial Features created at the same time in one recognition has the same time stamp. The Time Stamp parameter is seen in More...
Parameter section of the Machinable Axial Features definition
dialog box.
This filtering criteria allows you to select a reference Machinable Axial Features and filter all the Machinable Axial Features having the same time stamp.
There is a option to Remove the filter. The combination box gives the option to select Equal or Not Equal. By default, the option Equal is selected and the selection is retained (in the setting) for one session of the process. When the process is opened again the option Equal is the default attribute.
