For pattern, sweep, bounding box, ground plane, mirror components, projection curve, sheet metal normal cut, sheet metal swept flange, sheet metal gusset, sheet metal edge flange and tab/slot features only, this method initializes the feature data objects with default data. For library, simple fillet, and thread features, you must initialize feature data objects using specific initialize methods. See the See Also section.
