    iFeature or punch tool?

    I can create an iFeature from a sketched shape and use the iFeature to
    create a Punch Tool, correct? Then I can use the punch tool, to place a
    cutout feature in a sheet metal part. I can not use a table-driven iFeature
    to create a Punch tool. Therefore, I must create a Punch tool for each size
    shape that is placed on the sheet metal part, correct? Can I just you the
    iFeatures to place the cutouts, because I can just change sizes. If so, why
    do I need Punch tools?
    Thanks, Bob

    Have you tried placing one yet? You can adjust what ever features the
    designer allows you to when he creates it. And you can go back and edit it
    at a later time and adjust also.
