To Define a Manufacturing UDF
1. From the SMT MFG MACHINING dialog box, click > > . The UDF menu appears.
2. Click Create.
3. Specify the name for the group. TheUDF OPTIONS menu appears.
4. Select an option from the UDF OPTIONS menu:
◦ Stand Alone—The UDF is functional by itself.
◦ Subordinate—The UDF is driven by the current model.
5. Define the UDF elements as you would when creating a group of part features. Select manufacturing features (NC sequences and material removal features) to be grouped.
6. If a features’ group is referenced by selected NC sequences, the MFG UDF REF menu appears. Select one of the following options:
◦ Design UDF—Use a reference group of features to resolve references. If only one design UDF is referenced, it is selected automatically, otherwise select a group to use.
◦ Ref Part—Use the reference part to resolve references.
◦ None—Stores no reference information.
If no design UDF is referenced, the MFG UDF REF menu does not appear. You must select a reference part to use. If you do not want to select a reference part, click Done Sel without selecting a part.
7. After you successfully define the group, the information is automatically stored.

If you specify a reference design UDF, you are not prompted for the corresponding placement references; they are resolved automatically.
