Place a sketch point for locating the punch tool. Continue creating features as needed. Publish iFeature (as Punch).

I was going wrong in two places - Not putting a centre point and not using the Insert IFeature on the Manage tab. My next question is on Dies - see my next post. Best Rgds, Dave R Upvote 0 Downvote
