Summary


Details

In this scenario, you see a hole number (feature name) that is not shown in PathFinder.  You put the cursor on one hole of a set of holes and see two hole numbers, where one is not found in PathFinder.

Solution

In a part or assembly, when you place more than one hole profile in a hole feature you get a feature set of holes.  The set itself is shown in PathFinder.

We now have to distinguish between Synchronous and Ordered modeling.

Ordered:


In Ordered modeling, only the feature set 'Hole 1' is listed in PathFinder, but we are able to delete one hole out of the set.  In the above example, we could select and delete Hole 4 and leave the set with two holes.

Synchronous:


In Synchronous modeling, the feature set Hole 3 is a collector of holes in PathFinder. We could select the complete set or single holes in the graphics or in the PathFinder.  In addition to the usual Synchronous modeling, single holes can be deleted or separated from the feature set.
