  1. Select the feature that you want to create, and then complete its options. For details, refer to "Creating an Audi Feature".

  2. To keep the Extended Sheet Metal Features dialog box on top of the other windows on your computer, regardless of whether the dialog box is active, select the Always on top check box. To keep the dialog box underneath windows that are new or in focus on your computer, clear the check box.

  3. To test a feature's creation and preview its dimensional data before it is actually created, click Test. Click this button to perform a measurement using the current parameters. You can change parameters and click Test repeatedly until you have an acceptable measurement. Then when you click Create, the software converts the temporary feature into a normal feature in the measurement routine.

  4. When you click Test, the Execution dialog box appears. For help on how to use this dialog box, refer to "Using the Execution Dialog Box" in the "Using Advanced File Options" chapter in the PC-DMIS Core documentation.

  5. To create the feature after you complete its options, click Create. The Extended Sheet Metal Features dialog box remains open.

  6. To close the Extended Sheet Metal Features dialog box, click Close.
