Vent
The Vent PropertyManager appears when you create a new vent fastening feature. You must create a sketch of the vent that you want to create, then set the vent options in the PropertyManager.
The PropertyManager controls these properties:

Draft Angle . Click Draft On/Off to apply draft to the boundary, fill-in boundary, plus all ribs and spars. For vents on planar faces, draft is applied from the sketch plane.
