For instance, the command for making a swept feature offers only three termination options. Table 1 shows you which termination options are available for each of the four sketched feature types. For example, if an extruded, dependent feature terminates on a specified face, it will become longer or shorter whenever the face is changed or moved. Blind terminations can cause gaps when you change more basic features. Termination Option Descriptions Blind.
Blind terminations are only available for extruded features.
The profile is pushed in one direction for the length specified in the Distance edit box of the Extrusion dialog box. As you set up the extrusion, an arrow anchored in the geometric center of the profile points in the extrusion direction, and its length indicates the extrusion distance, as shown in Figure 2. You can reverse the extrusion direction with the Flip button of the Extrusion dialog box. As you specify the parameters for a Blind extrusion, Mechanical Desktop displays an arrow that indicates the extrusion's direction and length. The Through termination option is available only for cut, intersect and split operations on extrusions.
