User Interface
Change feature
Features are measured by selecting feature types from the Measure menu or Measure toolbar and then
probing part features. When a specific feature type is selected prior to probing, the feature data is assigned
the specified feature type and cannot be changed. However, when Measure Magic is selected prior to
probing, the feature type can be changed using the Change Feature menu item.
The Change Feature function is useful when one set of fea-
ture data describes different feature types. In this example,
a shallow arc was interpreted as a line with marginal form,
and is changed from a line to an arc in the Features list.
