Detailed Description

group a3d_feature_link_module

Feature connection indicates a reference and a product occurrence target in case of the reference is defined in another part definition.

In addition, a type specifies what is the link is used for. Four categories of links are presents, see EA3DFRMLinkType. chamfer connections ../../_images/frm_connections.png ../../_images/frm_chamfer_link.png

Type Documentation

enum EA3DFRMLinkType

Feature link type enum.

Version: 10.2 details

Values:

enumerator kA3DFRMLink_None: No type specified.

enumerator kA3DFRMLink_Outcome

Link to the item defined by the feature.

Generally, this element is highlighted when we select the feature.

enumerator kA3DFRMLink_Position

The linked element is used to define a location, an offset.

For example, to position a hole on a face, a point can be referenced.

enumerator kA3DFRMLink_Construction

The link refers to an entity used for defining feature information.

For example, the depth of an extrusion can be defined with a reference, “depth to this face”, in this case the depth feature has a construction connection to the face.

enumerator kA3DFRMLink_Support

The link refers to an entity which is the support of the feature.

For example, for a chamfer applied on an edge, this edge is referenced as a support. A pattern feature will have a support link to the master feature(s). This is the same thing for the feature master of a pattern. This element can be a TopoItem, or a feature.
