# Introduction

The new feature dialog window lets you create simple Eiffel features using the coding standards described in Object-Oriented Software Construction, Second Edition. It takes away the drag of writing set-procedures for attributes and finding the right feature clause in your class text. The feature wizard can be invoked whenever you have a class open in a development window. It is also used by the diagram tool when creating a client-supplier link.

## Use it when...

- You want to be introduced to the style rules for Eiffel code as described in Object-Oriented Software Construction, Second Edition, chapter 26.5 (page 891).
- You want to create an attribute and you also want an invariant and/or a set-procedure generated for it.
- You want to add a feature in a feature clause that is not in your class yet, and you do not remember the feature clause order, or you want to add it in a feature clause that is in your class, but you cannot find it.

## Do use it when...

- You want to edit an existing feature. This is not possible, you can only create new features with it.
- You want to write a more advanced feature. With the feature wizard, you can enter only a single line of code.
