Features by Family (tigrt0102m000)

Use this session to maintain features by family. You can assign a feature to more than one family, which is especially important for generic features such as dimensions and material.

In this session you can also determine the sequence in which the features are classified. This sequence is important for the order of evaluation of constraints in the classification.

If you want to link constraints to a family feature, start the Constraints by Family Feature (tigrt0135m000) session from the appropriate menu.

As long as a family to which the selected feature is related still contains items classified in the Classify Items (tigrt0180m000) session, you cannot add, delete, or change the feature without recoding the classified items. If you nevertheless do so, LN displays the following message: Feature already used in classification process. If you press ENTER, the following question appears: Mark previously classified items for recoding? If you select Yes, the Mark Classified Items for Recoding (tigrt0203m000) session starts. If you select No, you cannot carry out an operation.
