Pocket Manager: Pocket Associativity
Access: Open this function from one of the following locations:
-
Select NC Process > Model > Pocket Manager from the menu bar.
-
Click the
button in the
NC Guide Toolbar.
The Pocket Manager is a Feature Based Machining analysis function that recognizes pockets for safer and faster programming. The function automatically recognizes pocket (and slot) geometries, including open edges, and considers the height, shape, and draft angles of each pocket. The recognized pockets can be used in downstream procedures and templates and you can filter the selection by pocket attributes, such as open/closed walls, through/bottomed pocket, with or without draft angles.
If the geometry of a recognized pocket is changed, associativity is maintained and the calculated procedure is highlighted with an 
symbol to indicate the geometry change.
