This is the final page of the import wizard if you have imported a SolidEdge part file. If you have SolidEdgeon your computer, you have the option of using SolidEdge to recognize and suppress the holes in the solid model as shown in this example. Using SolidEDGE to recognize holes is the only way to recognize non-geometric information, like threads for tapped holes. The suppression is used to remove the holes from the solid model so that FeatureCAM does not try to recognize them again if you run FeatureCAM's automatic feature recognition (AFR).
There are three important points regarding this page:
Only holes that were created using SolidEDGE hole wizard will be automatically recognized. Holes that were created as extrusions have to be recognized using FeatureCAM automatic feature recognition.
You must have SolidEDGE on the same machine where you are running FeatureCAM for this method to work.
FeatureCAM will recognize SolidEDGE patterns only if those patterns can be mapped to a FeatureCAM pattern.
To complete this page:
To use SolidWorks to recognize the hole, click Use SolidEDGE to extract information about hole types and dimensions.
If you also want the holes suppressed, or removed from the solid model after they are recognized, click Suppress recognized holes in imported model.
If you do not want to perform hole recognition using SolidEdge, click Use FeatureCAM to recognize holes later.
Click Finish. Note that it take some time to start up SolidEdge and recognize the holes, so please be pa
