Parts are made up of features. Features are made up of points. Points are loca-
tions within the measuring envelope of the CMM. The measuring envelope is
the area of the CMM that can be reached by the probe.
The machine coordinate system defines all the points in the measuring envelope
starting a machine zero. Machine zero is the beginning of positive travel on
each axis.
