## Auto Features Toolbar

Auto Features toolbar

With the Auto Features toolbar you can easily access the same auto feature available on the various tabs of the Auto Features dialog box.

The following icons are available:

Icon | Feature Type
| Vector Point
| Surface Point
| Edge Point
| Angle Point
| Corner Point
| High Point
| Characteristic Point
| Line
| Plane
| Circle
| Ellipse
| Square Slot
| Round Slot
| Notch
| Flush and Gap
| Polygon
| Cylinder
| Cone
| Sphere

Note: PC-DMIS determines which auto feature items are enabled in the toolbar and in the menu depending on the type of probe you have enabled and your portlock settings. Unless you have a non-contact probe enabled, the Characteristic Point and the Flush and Gap icons will remain unavailable for selection.

When you click on an auto feature icon, the Auto Feature dialog box with that feature type selected. To create the auto feature, follow the instructions provided in the "Creating Auto Features" section. When ready, press the END key or the Create button on the Auto Feature dialog box to insert the feature into your part program. Before creating your feature, you can remove hits from the hit buffer by pressing the ALT + '-' key combination.

Tip: Click the minimize button for the Auto Feature dialog box. This allows you to hide the Auto Features dialog box and still create the selected sheet metal feature.
