Feature library guidelines

The first feature for an ordered library member must be a profile-based feature.

You can select one or more features.

An ordered library member that contains a treatment feature, such as a round or chamfer, must also include the parent profile-based feature.

Driving dimensions that reference edges outside of the select set are captured as part of the library member definition.

Geometric relationships that reference edges outside of the select set are not captured as part of the library member definition.

When you place an ordered library member, a command bar and Feature Set Information dialog box allow you to place the profile-based features onto reference planes you select.

An ordered library member can contain suppressed features. When placed, the features remain suppressed.

Library members that use a sketch profile as input are allowed as long as a feature exists on the same face as the sketch. Dimensions that reference edges outside of the select set are not captured when using sketches.

The library member cannot contain external dependencies other than dimensions. For example, you cannot use edges of the model that are not included in the select set to orient a reference plane that is used to create one of the features for the library member.
