And notice we have the Auto-create option which we use most of the time. Go ahead and click on okay and what that's going to do it's going to search the part itself and it's going to find all the available dimensions or sketches that we can use to bring in to define our part. So I can choose one, two or all of these it doesn't really matter. And if you had a hundred different things in your part you would bring them all in. So you can choose how you want to drive this component. Now if you go ahead and choose all these, click okay…
