         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Use the Die Form Task Feature selection step to select a sheet body containing a DIE_FORM_TASK feature. The boundary of the sheet body (also called the addendum tangency curve) is the starting point for the addendum sections.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Use the Binder Wrap selection step to select a sheet body that represents the binder wrap. This step is optional.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Use the Binder Curve selection step to select a contiguous string of objects to represent the binder curve. Choose the Binder curve type this string represents - Punch opening or Addendum/binder tangency. This step is required when a Binder Surface is selected.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Use the Sections by Points selection step to indicate the position around the boundary of the form task where sections are to be created. Select any number of displayed points or use the Insert point button to define a point in-between two displayed points. Define the Section shape. Your choices are Basic, Draw Bar, Simple, or Channel. Use the Create button to create the sections at the created points. After creating sections you can change the Filter to Section and select a section. When you select a section the Modify and Display Analysis Data buttons become available. Choose the Modify button after you change one or more of the following values: Displacement, e_N, e_A. Choose the Display Analysis Data button to view flange analysis results. This step is optional but you must define at least one section using Sections by Points, Section by Curves or Edit Section in order to create a DIE_ADD_SECTION feature.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Use the Section Plane Normal selection step to redefine the plane where the section lies. To do this you must have the Filter set to Section and select a section. Then you must change the Filter to Vector and use the Vector Method to define a vector that is normal to the plane of the section. After you have done this you must chose Update Section in order to change the section plane. This step is optional.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Use the Sections by Curves selection step if you have predefined curves that you would like to use as sections. This step is optional, but you must define at least one section using Sections by Points, Section by Curves or Edit Section in order to create a DIE_ADD_SECTION feature.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Use the Edit Section selection step if you would like to edit a section by changing the parameters defining each segment of the section. Select a section and then chose the Edit button. This displays the  <a class="links" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="top.openFile('dieengr/die_section_params.html');return(false);">Section Parameters</a> dialog. Here you can chose the parameter you want to edit and either key in the new value or use the slider. Chose OK or Apply to accept the changes to the parameters. This step is optional, but you must define at least one section using Sections by Points, Section by Curves or Edit Section in order to create a DIE_ADD_SECTION feature.

         <li>
            <p class="para_item">The Extend to binder area toggle controls the length of the section. If toggled off the section ends at the trim line. If toggled on the section continues down to the binder. This option is only available when no binder curve information is supplied.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Choose OK or Apply to create the DIE_ADD_SECTION feature. An undo mark called &quot;DIE_ADD_SECTION&quot; is created after each OK/Apply.</p>
