Teaching Plan -3: Form feature Learning Outcomes On the completion of this unit you will be able to correctly use the following skills as follows: ? Create solid models form features and Position features correctly. ? Edit the parameters and position of features. operations. Assessment Competency will be assessed by operation tasks throughout this section. Please forward the Practical Applications Manual to your supervisor for assessment on completion of operation tasks.

These features include holes, slots, bosses, pads, pockets and grooves. Form features are fully associative to the geometry and parameter values used to create them. Placement Face All form features require a placement face. For a groove, the placement face must be cylindrical or conical. For all other form features, the placement face must be planar. A datum plane may be used as the planar placement face. Horizontal and Vertical Reference The Horizontal Reference defines the X axis of the feature coordinate system. Any linear edge, planar face, datum axis, or datum plane that can be projected onto the planar placement face may be selected to define the horizontal direction. A Horizontal Reference is required to define the length direction of form features having a Length parameter (slot, rectangular pocket, and pad). It is also required to define horizontal or vertical positioning dimensions for features that do not initially require a Horizontal Reference (holes, bosses, and cylindrical pockets). 1 — Planar Placement Face 2 — Horizontal Reference 3 — X Length of Featur
