Feature Recognition

When working with translated data you may have to perform changes to that data or may have to remodel it since it can’t easily be changed. Autodesk Labs to the rescue!!! Feature Recognition allows you to take translated data and create a basic history tree. The history tree will include a base sketch, fillets, chamfers, extruded and revolved features, shell and sweep features and sculpt features. They say on the website it works with neutral cad formats like step, sat and iges but I found it works with solid works data and have not tested any other formats at this time.

Check out my video of how to do this.
