Using Semantic Painter

Semantic painter is used to apply the specifications of the parent feature to the target features.


Before you begin: To perform this task, create an object with features. You can create holes, for example, with non-identical specifications.
  1. Select the parent feature whose specifications are to be applied.
  2. On the context toolbar, click Semantic Painter .


    The valid target features are clearly visible making the parent solid and its other children transparent.
  3. Select the target features.

    The pointer appears with a brush when you hover over a valid target feature.

    Notes:
    • A thread is a valid target feature only if its support diameter is equal to the support diameter of a source thread.
    • A tap is a valid target feature only if its support diameter is less than that of a source tap.
    • Invalid thread and tap features are visible if the Shading with Edges from the View section of the action bar is selected.

    Specifications of the parent feature are applied to the target features.
  4. Click in the background to validate the command.

    Following specifications will be applied to the respective target features using Semantic Painter:

    Chamfer
    • Length 1
    • Length 2
    • Angle
    • Chordal length
    • Height
    • Propagation
    • Chamfers created using following options:
      • Reverse

    Thread and Tap
    • Bottom Type
    • Type of the thread or tap
    • Thread Diameter
    • Thread Depth

    • Direction of threading or tapping

    Note: In case of a chamfer with multiple corners, the semantic painter paints the setback distance value of the first corner of the source chamfer to all the corners of the target chamfer.
