Using Library Features

Library features are features that you create once and reuse many times. They are intended to be parametrically flexible to fit into many types of geometry, but they can also be of a fixed size and shape. You will use all the information that you have learned in previous chapters about designing for change, and design intent, as well as learn how to create, use, and store library features.

Library features reside in the Design Library, which is located in the Task Pane to the right of the graphics window.

You can use library features for snap ring grooves, custom holes, mounting bosses for plastics, mounting hole patterns, electrical connector holes, and much more.
