Defines the top holes you want to fill with a fastener. You can select one or more circular edges. The circular edges you select must all be the same diameter. The parent feature of the circular edge must penetrate through the part.

Defines the bottom holes you want to fill with a fastener. You can select a single circular face that represents the bottom extent for all the fasteners you want to place. The cylindrical face can be constructed from a hole or cutout feature. If the circular face is not threaded, it must penetrate through the part. If the circular face is threaded, it can be a finite depth that does not penetrate through the part.

This button changes function as you move through the fastener definition process. The Finish button constructs the feature using input provided in the other steps. Once you construct the feature, you can edit it by re-selecting the appropriate step on the command bar. The Cancel button discards any input and exits the command.
