To insert a feature control frame:

1. Click the Feature Control Frame tool from the Dims/Notes tool set.

2. Click on the drawing to insert the feature control frame. Click again to set the rotation of the object.

If this is the first time the object has been inserted in this session, the Object Properties dialog box opens. If the Attributes palette has not been set to use end markers, select the marker style, size, and angle from the Object Properties dialog box.

3. Set the feature control frame parameters in the Object Info palette.

If the leader is not immediately visible, drag it from the frame using the leader control points.

Once the feature control frame has been placed, its marker can be selected from the Attributes palette (see Marker Attributes).
