- [Narrator] Now that we've created or opened a part
in SolidWorks, we've defined the stock
that the part's going to be machined from,
as well as the material it's going to be machined from,
we want SolidWorks to detect the different geometry
that's going to be machined out of our stock.
The quickest way to do that is to click
the extract machinable features button
in the SolidWorks cam toolbar.
SolidWorks will go and automatically recognize
the different geometry that we've created.
If you go back to the feature tree,
you'll notice we have rectangular pocket, curb feature
ed break, whole group drill, with the simple part.
If you expand the whole group drill item,
you'll notice that each hole in our part
is available and we can customize the parameters
by right clicking on the item.
Once we've confirmed that all of our features
have been recognized by SolidWorks,
we're ready to go onto the next step.
