Inserting an Instance
Overview of Inserting Instances
Inserting Feature
Choose the Insert Feature icon on the task set, to get the Insert Feature property
sheet, which appears as shown in the following illustration. The Feature field
accesses a list of user-defined feature definitions. The set of fields (Name, Type,
Value) for each attribute allows you to enter a new value for each attribute. View
Feature Mode allows you to view a feature before actually inserting it. It uses the
default attribute values of the feature when creating a feature view. Note that the
Insert Feature property sheet allows you to select within only SYSLIB and the
current user library. Use the Select Library option from the Features Task Set to
change the current user library.

option and specify a name.
Viewing a Feature Before Inserting It
If you want to view a feature before inserting it, you can do so by selecting View
Feature Mode from either the Insert Feature property sheet or the Browse
property sheet. The Browse property sheet allows you to browse SYSLIB and any
user library.
