That's not just a ModelCheck limitation. If you used Layer Rules instead of ModelCheck you'd also have to make sure the rules gathered the features that contain axes.

Have you tried putting this in?

PRT_LAYER PRT_AXIS BLANK AXIS

PRT_LAYER PRT_AXIS BLANK HOLE

PRT_LAYER PRT_AXIS BLANK PROTRUSION

If it works, it should create a single layer and put all axes, holes and protrusions on that layer.

Afternoon all,
I am trying to configure ModelCheck to clean up my part layers.
Most features work as planned IE. Datum Planes, Curves, Points etc..
But Axis seems a little challenging.
My Layer.mcs file has these layers defined.
/Test 1
PRT_LAYER PRT_DTM_AXIS BLANK DATUM_AXIS
PRT_LAYER PRT_AXIS BLANK AXIS
Run MC and results are: manually created axis are layered off, feature
based axis (protrusions,cuts, holes etc..) are not layered.

Next step to test out the MC function, add these layer settings to my
Layers.mcs file.
/Test 2
PRT_LAYER PRT_HOLE BLANK HOLE
PRT_LAYER PRT_PROTRUSION BLANK PROTRUSION
Run MC and results are: Holes and Protrusions layered off, the actual
feature is still visible and the axis are off
So my questions is why doesn't the first test run grab the axis of features?
I do not want all the extra layers created, one layer called Prt_Axis that
contain all axis

Any tips would be appreciated

Thanks Don
Your suggestion makes sense and did the trick.

So I guess i'll go update my question on PTC/Community

Ahh. I'm not subscribed to that one or I'd have put the answer there, too.
