To Define UDFs and Local Groups
With the option UDF_RECOGNITION you can control which types of groups should be recognized by SMARTHolechart. All parameters from your group can be output. To output the feature dimensions in a group you have to link these parameters to the geometry using relations.
To detect groups by SMARTHolechart there must be a position reference inside your group. You can use one of two position references:
• Datum point—Only the position is shown.
• Coordinate system—The position, the direction, and the orientation can be displayed. Use the options UDF_DIR and UDF_ORIENT to define the direction and the orientation.
 |
All features and the geometry in a detected group are not considered for the geometry-based hole evaluation. If you still want to recognize some geometry from your group, add the parameter BUW_HC_USE to the corresponding feature.
|
UDF_RECOGNITION = NO
No groups are detected by SMARTHolechart.
UDF_RECOGNITION = BUW
Define the following parameters to enable group detection with SMARTHolechart:
• BUW_UDF_NAME—Sets the hole type name.
• BUW_REF—Sets the position reference. The value of this parameter is not used.
• NUMBER—If more than one hole type is defined in one UDF, you must set a number of different hole types in the UDF. Each hole type requires a position reference.
• BUW_HC_UDF_DIR—(optional) If not set, the default from UDF_DIR is used.
• BUW_HC_UDF_ORIENT—(optional) If not set, the default from UDF_ORIENT is used.
When one hole type is in a group, the BUW_REF and BUW_UDF_NAME are the only required parameters. All features in the group are considered for evaluation:
|
BUW_REF
|
BUW_UDF_NAME
|
NUMBER
|
||
 Group TESTUDF |
||||
 Extrude 1 |
||||
 UDFCSYS1 |
REF 1
|
TESTUDF1
|
||
| Extrude 2 |
||||
| UDFCSYS2 |
||||
When there are multiple hole types in a single group the BUW_REF, BUW_UDF_NAME, and NUMBER parameters are required:
|
BUW_REF
|
BUW_UDF_NAME
|
NUMBER
|
||
| Group TESTUDF |
||||
| Extrude 1 |
TESTUDF1
|
1
|
||
| UDFCSYS1 |
REF 1
|
TESTUDF1
|
1
|
|
| Extrude 2 |
TESTUDF2
|
2
|
||
| UDFCSYS2 |
REF 2
|
TESTUDF2
|
2
|

UDF_RECOGNITION = ALL
Under the BUW groups described above, all groups created by a user-defined feature (UDF) are detected. There has to be a position reference (point or coordinate system) inside your UDF. The first reference is taken as position reference.
You must add a UDF with the name of your UDF to the Hole types/UDF list.
All parameters and variable dimensions from your UDF can be output.
