| Placement of a standard iFeature |
This program demonstrates the placement of a standard iFeature in a part. |
| Place table driven iFeature |
This program demonstrates the placement of a table driven iFeature in a part. |
| Add a punch tool feature |
This program demonstrates the creation of a punch tool feature. It uses one of the punch features that's delivered with Inventor. It assumes you already have an existing sheet metal part and have selected a face to place the punch feature on. The selected face should be large so there is room for the punch features. |
