The New Feature wizard walks you through the creation of features. Features are objects like holes, pockets or threads. These are the objects from which you create and customize toolpaths. See Features for additional information.

To run the New Feature wizard, click the New Feature image\btn-steps-feature.gif step in the Steps toolbar.

The features listed under From Dimensions are created from numeric dimensions. The features listed under From Curve are created from curves and possibly some additional dimensions. See milling features, turning features, 3D milling features or wire EDM features for information on specific features.
