To Create Template Features and Parameters
You build the template part so that all variations of one type of part can be created, for example, there are three types of ejector pins: Regular, Shouldered, and Flat. The head can be regular or Flat. All Features for all three types and both features for the head must be created in one part.
1. Create all features for all types of parts you wish to create
2. Assign Dimension_Parameters to all dimensions you want in the dialog box.
3. Create and Assign any relations needed to drive dimensions not driven through user input.
4. Create Type_Parameters according to the types of features you want to turn on and off through each instance.
For example: If there are Regular, Shouldered, and Flat types of Ejector pins, you might want to create a Class parameter, representing the type each instance may be.
5. Assign features with Type_Parameters through the part program option. This is how you control the features you want turned on and off through layouts.
