Feature Recognition

Habib Ghalamkari Feb 15, 2015 9:33 PM

I saved an assembly including two parts as a part and deleted the main assembly.

All the features are deleted and the file contains two solid part(surface) with no feature at all.

Is there any way to run a feature Recognition and take back the features?

It's not a big deal and I can start from scratch and have it back for half an hour.

I just was wondering why I can't find Feature Recognition in this case.

Thanks for any kind of advice.

Dear Sir,

1. While saving the Assembly file as a Part , Select "All Component" Option and Click Save. So Components in the Assembly will save as Imported.
2. We can't able to feature Recognition in this part. So, Select one body and Right Click it, Click Add to new part. Single imported body will save in new part as a Stock File.
3. Then again we have to save that file in IGES Format. So now you can able to Convert that Solid Body into Features.

I hope this is the way to use feature Recognition in this scenario.

Regards,
Yuvaraj S

  I was away for a day and I wasn't able to check your solution. thanks for taking your time and trying help.
  
  On your step 2, after right clicking a body, there is no Add To New Part context menu.
  I have add to new folder and add to favorite but no add to new part.
  
  I'm on Solidworks 2015 Sp1.1
  
  thanks again

    Dear Sir,
    
    Sorry by mistake, I have entered wrongly. Right click the solidbody and give "insert into new part".. Refer below screen shot.
    
    Follow the remaining steps which i have already posted.

You need a solid body model for feature recognition. Last I checked though, SW's feature recognition wasn't too great anyhow.

  Yes I know, that feature recognition is not that useful. I was just wondering why I can't use it in this case.
  
  thank you
