The EntityProperties tool generates aMacroFeature''. It is found in the FeatureManager. If the geometries of the part change due to dimensional changes, this MacroFeature recalculates the values and the properties are updated automatically.


 


If the geometry changes significantly (creation or deletion of edges, entities, etc.) the selections made at the time of validation may not be up to date. It is always possible to edit the MacroFeature to :

  • Make changes to entity selections.
  • Change the names of the properties.

In this case the old properties will not be deleted from the part, they will have to be managed manually.

  • Modify the calculation mode ''Measurement'' / ''Encompassing box''.


If you try to restart the EntityProperties tool a message is displayed on the screen.
