are created from one or more 2D sketches on page 135.
Each Feature is created by a command that allows the user to provide the

interface.
Features can also be created on an imported model by using the Find Features
on page 181 command.
Once a Feature is created, it is represented in the browser under the
Component.
A Feature can be selected by clicking on the browser or by selecting one of its
faces and using the Select Other on page 18 command.
Once a Feature is selected, it can be deleted by using the Delete command.
Features can be patterned on page 178 using the Rectangular Pattern or Circular
