Propagating Geometry Selection for Feature Creation 

• The same sphere surface.
• The same plane surface.
• The same cylinder surface.
• The same cone surface.
• The same torus surface.
• A pattern of parallel cylinders.
• A pattern of spheres.

1. Select the cylindrical hole as shown.

2. Click Tolerancing Advisor in Annotations toolbar.
   The Semantic Tolerancing Advisor dialog box appears. The geometry propagation selection commands are available.

   The options are activated according to the type of face selected depending on the canonicity.

   In this case as the cylindrical face is selected we have two options out of the three available options activated:

   All same canonicity faces - This option selects all the faces of the part (at part level) or of the part instance (at product level or at process level – the part instance being the one that corresponds to the last selected face) that have the same canonicity. All same diameter parallel sphere - This option selects all the faces of the part (at part level) or of the part instance (at product level or at process level – the part instance being the one that corresponds to the last selected face) that have spherical canonicity and the same diameter. All same diameter parallel cylinder - This option selects all the faces of the part (at part level) or of the part instance (at product level or at process level – the part instance being the one that corresponds to the last selected face): With the same cylindrical canonicity. With the same diameter. That are parallel with the first selected cylinder.  Whether the extremity edges of the selected cylindrical face are contained or not in a plane: Extremity edges are not contained in a plane: only the 3 first conditions are taken into account (With the same cylindrical canonicity, the same diameter and parallel with the first selected cylinder). One extremity edge is contained in a plane: only faces with edges coplanar with the extremity edge plane are selected. Extremity edges are contained in planes: When the selected cylindrical face has been selected in the geometry area: the plane nearest of the selection point is chosen and only faces with edges coplanar with this plane are selected.  When the selected cylindrical face has been selected in the Tree (no selection point): two sets of faces with edges coplanar with these planes are defined: either the number of faces in the two sets are the same, and the set related to the first edge is selected, or the set with the biggest number of faces is selected. Select all same apex angle cones - propagates the selection to the cones in the 3D part with the same apex angle. Select all same small diameter, high diameter parallel Tori - propagates selection to the tori in the 3D part with the same diameter. All same User defined features - This option selects all the user features or technological result of user feature of same type in the part (at part level) or in the part instance (at product level) All same diameter, same pitch, parallel CG thread Cylinders - This option selects all the Constructed Geometry thread cylinders in the 3D part with the same diameter and pitch, and axis parallel with the selected Constructed Geometry Thread cylinder. You can also select additional faces if required.

3. Select the All same diameter parallel cylinder option. You can see that all the cylindrical surfaces are highlighted.

4. Click Position Specification in the dialog box.
   The Geometric Tolerance dialog box appears. Click OK.
   The specification is created.

   Click Close in the Semantic Tolerancing Advisor dialog box to end the command.

5. Select the spherical hole. 

6. Click Text with Leader in the Annotations toolbar (Text sub-toolbar).

   The Text Editor dialog box appears.

   The Tools Palette for geometry propagation is also displayed.

   There are two options in the Tools Palette: All same canonicity faces All same diameter parallel sphere You can also select additional faces if required.

   The Tools Palette is displayed according to the type of face selected depending on the canonicity.

7. In this case, select the All same diameter parallel sphere option. You can see that all the spherical surfaces are highlighted.

8. Enter the text, for example All Spherical Faces in the dialog box.

   Click OK to end the text creation. You can click anywhere in the geometry area too.

   The text is commonly created for all the faces.

Using the All same canonicity faces option

1. Select the planar surface as shown.
2. Click Flag Note with Leader in Annotations toolbar (Flag Note sub-toolbar).

   The Flag Note Definition dialog box appears.

   The Tools Palette for geometry propagation is also displayed.

   There is only one option in the Tools Palette: All same canonicity faces You can also select additional faces if required.

3. Select the All same canonicity faces option. You can see that all the planar surfaces are highlighted.

4. Enter the flag note's name as Geometry Propagation in the Name field.

   Click OK.

   The flag note is created for all the faces commonly.
