Finalizing feature properties
The default display and point filtration properties of features are determined by settings in the Tools/
Options/Measure and Tools/Options/Point Filtration Supervisor Setup screens. However, these default
feature properties can be modified for individual features using the Feature Properties menu item of the
Features template window. The following feature properties can be changed:
• Feature name
• Feature display mode in the Part View window
• Point filtration for probed points
NOTE
This example shows how to change a feature name and two display characteristics.
More details regarding feature properties are contained later in this chapter in the
Editing Programs section.
To change a feature’s properties:
1 Right-click the desired feature in the Feature template window, and then click Feature Properties to
display the Feature Properties dialog box.
2 The feature name can be changed to enhance reporting. To
change the feature name, highlight the existing name and then enter a
new name in its place.
3 By default each feature is outlined in the Part View window by a solid black line that turns blue when
the feature is selected. Constructed features are shown as dashed lines. No names or special notes are
shown. These defaults can be changed by checking boxes in the Display group of the dialog box, and
adding text into the Note field.
Right-click a feature, and then click Feature Properties to display the Feature Property dialog box
