Attributes are the keys to controlling FeatureCAM. Understanding and using attributes is how you make FeatureCAM behave exactly as you want it to.
Attributes can be classified in two main groups: defaults and feature attributes.
Default attributes are the settings that affect your part without your changing anything. You can access these defaults by selecting Default Attributes from the Manufacturing menu. The help system has information for setting default attributes.
Overrides are set with the feature. If you open the properties dialog box for a feature and click on an operation in the tree view, tabs that are specific to the operation will be displayed as shown in this figure . In these tabs you can override tool selections, or speed settings and so forth. You can override the settings that carried over from the defaults as well. Click below for a description of the attributes contained on the various tabs.
