Hi everyone,

Can anyone explain to me what is the difference between normal feature control frames and datums vs those created using Tolerance Feature Editor?

I`ve done some research, and i read that "NX CAM can analyse any PMI data within a part model file and reuse it as input into feature-based machining tools [...] With a PMI-based approach, it’s possible to have tool paths that also adapt to changes in tolerances, surface finish and such[...]The Link PMI button uses the 3D part geometry and attached PMI, extracts all of the identified features and tolerances and creates all the inspection operations necessary to inspect the part. The movement and inspection routine for the CMM is then derived from this and made available."

When it comes to feature control frames and datums, do they use normal feature control frames and datums, those created using tolerance feature editor or both?

Best Regards,
Wilson Yau
