## Inserting Auto Features

To insert Auto Features into your part program, access the Auto Feature dialog box for the desired Auto Feature by selecting Insert | Feature | Auto and then select the feature type. Alternately, you can select the feature type from the Auto Features toolbar.

With the dialog box open, the ideal way to create the feature is to simply click on the feature in the Graphics Display window. PC-DMIS will fill in the dialog box with the necessary information taken directly from the CAD model. If you don't have access to a CAD model, you can probe hits directly on your part. Once the dialog box is filled out, click Create on the dialog box (or press DONE on your jog box) to insert the feature into the Edit window.

The Auto Feature dialog box and its options are not discussed in this documentation set. Since many of the Auto Feature dialog box options are common to the different configurations of PC-DMIS, this information is held in the PC-DMIS Core documentation. Consult the "Creating Auto Features" chapter in the PC-DMIS Core documentation for in depth information on the options available on the Auto Feature dialog box.

For all internal or external features, be sure that the proper feature type, HOLE or STUD, is selected. See "Hole or Stud options" in the PC-DMIS Core documentation.
