To assess the cost of a part that you create from a stock body, you can assign machining operations to volume features.
Volume slot features are volume features that are created from standard slot features. You can convert standard slots into volume slots, and you can revert volume slots to standard slots.
Volume features represent the removed material in a part.
The software creates volume features for complex machining operations in cylindrical stock bodies. You can use a volume feature cost estimate to determine the cost of drilling, turning, and milling operations on the part.
In this example, you learn about using setup operations and volume features in Costing.
