Create
The Feature Create tool lets you generate geometric features from other geometric features. For
example, you can create a line from two points, or create a plane from a point and a line. The tool can
generate points, lines, circles, or planes. You can also extract measurement values from the geometric
features generated by other tools; you can use these values as decisions or use them as anchors in other
tools. The advantage of the Feature Create tool is that it means you need to rely less on Script tools or
SDK/GDKapplications to perform complex geometric operations.
For example, in the following, a Feature Create tool takes the hole geometric features output by two
Surface Hole tools to generate a line geometric feature (near-vertical yellow line between the cyan hole
center points).
You could perform measurements on the resulting line (X, Y, and Zpositional measurements on the line's
center point, and, more importantly, angle measurements on the line). You could also use the line's
Zangle as an anchor in other tool's in order to increase repeatability.
