Work features

Work features are abstract construction geometry that you can use to create and position new features when other geometry is insufficient. To fix position and shape, constrain features to work features.

Overview of work features

Work features include work planes, work axes, and work points. The proper orientation and constraint conditions are inferred from the geometry you select and the order in which you select it.

The work feature commands provide on-screen prompts to help you with selection and placement. You can:

• Create and use work features in the part, assembly, sheet metal, and 3D sketch environments.
• Use and refer to work features in the drawing environment.
• Project work features into a 2D sketch.
• Create in-line work features to help you define a 3D sketch or position a part or assembly feature.
• Make work features adaptive.
• Turn the visibility of work features on or off.
• Drag to resize work planes and work axes.
