Standard reference geometry items
The three standard planes and the Origin in the assembly FeatureManager design tree are all
familiar to you, as are the other standard items, such as the Annotations, Design Binder, Sensors,
and Lights and Cameras folders. These items offer the same standard functionality of their part
document counterparts.
Note
Remember that you can use choose Tools ➪ Options ➪ FeatureManager page and permanently select or
deselect various folders under the FeatureManager header. Also be aware that when some folders are set to
Automatic, they do not automatically turn on when they should. In cases like this, choose Tools ➪ Options ➪
FeatureManager and manually set them to Show. n
