Dialog boxes define values for placed features, such as the Hole dialog box.
iFeatures
An iFeature is one or more features that you can save and reuse in other
designs. You can create an iFeature from any sketched feature. Features
dependent on the sketched feature are included in the iFeature. After you
create an iFeature and store it in a catalog, you can drag it from Windows
Explorer and drop it in the part file. You can also use the Insert iFeature
command.

Assembly Features
Assembly features are like part features, except that you create them in the
assembly environment. They can affect multiple components in an assembly
file, but the modifications do not alter the included component files. If
assembly features are used, use LOD reps to exclude unnecessary components.
The more participants, the bigger the file size and the longer it takes to
calculate the feature. You usually suppress assembly features before saving.
Assembly features include chamfers, fillets, sweeps, revolved features,
extrusions, holes, move face, rectangular feature pattern, circular feature
pattern, and mirror. They also include the work features and sketches used to
create them. The workflow and dialog boxes are the same as for part features.
However, some operations are not available, such as creating a surface for
extruded and revolved features.
You can edit, add to, suppress, or delete assembly features. You can also roll
back the state of the assembly features and add or remove components that
participate in the feature.
