Add a feature control frame symbol

On the ribbon, click Annotate tab Symbols panel Feature Control Frame .

To place the symbol, do one of the following:

• To create a symbol associated to a part edge, pause the cursor over the edge and double-click to add the symbol.

• To create a symbol without a leader line, double-click a location for the symbol.

• To create a symbol without a leader line associated with geometry, double-click a highlighted edge or point. The symbol is attached to the edge or point.

• To create a symbol with a leader line, click a location for the start point of the leader line. If you click a highlighted edge or point, the leader line is attached to the edge or point. Move the cursor and click to add a vertex to the leader line. When the symbol indicator is in the desired position, right-click, and select Continue.

  Tip: To edit the position of the frame, pause the cursor over the symbol green dot and click-drag to reposition. A small distance will flip the symbol to the other side of an edge. A larger distance will pull the frame away from the edge and add a leader.
  Tip: To rotate a feature control frame symbol, right-click the symbol, and click Rotate 90 CW or CCW.

(Optional) Select a symbol preset and modify as needed. If no preset exists, continue with these steps. In step 5 you can save a preset.

Set the attributes and values for the symbol in the Feature Control Frame dialog box, and click OK.

(Optional) If the symbol values are used often, save them as a named preset. To save as a preset, in the preset field click and accept the default name or specify one based on your naming conventions.

Continue placing feature control frames. When you finish placing symbols, right-click, and then choose Done from the menu to end the operation.
