#### The Feature Geometry Dialog Box

Depending on the feature that you have selected, the "Feature" dialog box will display the option that are needed for that feature. The available options are:

- Feature Type: Select the feature type from the drop-down list.

- ID: Provides the name for the feature that will be created based on the selected feature type. You can type a new ID in this box if desired; however, the ID you choose must be unique. If you type an ID that already exists, the software will display a small Rename dialog box telling you that the ID you typed was not unique and asking you to type a new one.

- XYZ: These values define the Point, Center, Start or End positions for the Feature.

- IJK: These values define the Surface, Edge, Normal and Angle Vectors for the Feature.

- The Find Nearest CAD Element icon tells PC-DMIS Planner to find the nearest CAD element in the Graphics Display window based on the XYZ location. Only available for Point (Surface, Edge, Angle & Corner), Line and Plane features. If you select one of the XYZ axis buttons, only that value will be adjusted to the nearest CAD element.

- The Flip Vector icon allows you to reverse the direction of the surface vectors. Click on Flip Vector to reverse the displayed values.

- Diameter: Diameter for a Circle, Polygon, Cylinder or Sphere feature.

- Major Diam: Diameter for the length of an Ellipse feature.

- Minor Diam: Diameter for the width of an Ellipse feature.

- Width: Width for a Square, Round or Notch Slot feature.

- Length: Length for a Square, Round or Notch Slot feature. This also defines the length for a Cylinder or Cone feature.

- Gap: Defines the distance of the Gap between the two sides of a Flush and Gap feature.

- Num Sides: Determines the number of sides of a Polygon feature.

- Diameter 1: Specifies the diameter for a Cone feature at the XYZ location of the cone.

- Diameter 2: Specifies the diameter for a Cone feature at the end of the length of the cone.

- Angle: The apex angle of a cone feature.
