NAME=Centroid The center most point of a feature. NAME=Characteristic Each feature type has certain characteristics that define the feature's nominals and form. These characteristics are used when calculating dimensions and constructing points. A point, line or plane characteristic can be derived from a feature's measured position. NAME=DATUM A reference feature from which measurements are made. The DATUM location is known and reliable. NAME=Intersection The location where input features cross for the creation of a related feature. For example, two points might intersect to create a point. NAME=Reference Plane Provides the plane that coincides with the feature's nominal values. NAME=Step Part of a task that requires either measurement or other input. NAME=Task Includes a number of steps that need to be completed to accomplish the creation of a feature.
