About Creating Features in the Current Part
You can select entities on the active drawing to create the following features in the current part:
• Extruded features
• Revolved features
• Simple straight holes
• Datum features, such as sketched curves and points
• Datum planes that are offset from the default datum planes in the part model
Extruded and revolved features are of the types protrusion and cut. Protrusion features are created by default. If the extruded or the revolved feature is the first solid feature on the part, you can create only a protrusion, not a cut.
Feature creation on the active part involves the following steps:
• Setting up the part as the active part
• Selecting the feature and the feature type to be created
• Selecting entities on the drawing to define the section profile
• Selecting a line entity to define the sketching plane
• Automatically validating the sketch at every step of the feature creation process
• Fixing the section profile when validation fails, based on the errors processed
• Defining depth options for extruded features or angle options for revolved features
• Previewing the feature in 3D model space
