iFeatures

Let's say I have a table driven iFeature someone downloaded from the Internet at one point, but I don't have the base part file the iFeature was created off of, I have to add a line to the table. How the hell can I figure out what is used for what without a sketch or anything? (some dimensions are pretty straightforward to figure out but some others I have no idea what they do)

For those who tries to mess with it, nothing past #5 works, I added #14.

I'm on IV2024

Not sure but here are my SAE ports.

I did them this way to get thread callout.

Hi! I suspect the 15 deg angle could be too large for other parameters. I change it back to 12 deg. The iFeature seems to work past #5.

Many thanks!

I ended up re-starting it from scratch,

I did not like having each ports as an individual iFeature because if I had to change port size and other features depended on it, everything exploded.
