Reference Model Information in Data Sharing Features
Reference model information is shared with data sharing features as read only system parameters. These system parameters are available in Merge and Inheritance features, Copy Geometry features, including copy geometry features in Shrinkwrap features, and Shrinkwrap features. The parameters are locked parameters and their values are taken from the reference model of the data sharing feature.
Parameter
Description
COPY_GEOM_ORIGIN
The name of the source model
COPY_GEOM_ORIGIN_TYPE
The type of model, part or assembly
PTC_REF_MODEL_ACCURACY_TYPE
Accuracy type
PTC_REF_MODEL_ACCURACY
Accuracy value
PTC_REF_MODEL_UNITS_LENGTH
Length units
The parameters are accessed as feature parameters in the Parameters dialog box, and are visible in the feature information report.
Access to reference model accuracy type and value, and model length units allows you to investigate reference and target model geometry, finding potential geometry issues due to accuracy and unit mismatch.
