## Inserting Measured Features

To insert Measured Features into your part program, simply take the required number of hits for the desired feature type on the feature on the part and then press the DONE button on your jog box or the END key on your keyboard. PC-DMIS inserts the feature into the Edit window.

If you like, you can use the Measured Features toolbar to assist you in this:

Measured Features toolbar

Clicking one of these feature icons on the toolbar will tell PC-DMIS you are about to take hits on a feature of that type. This ensures that the proper feature will be created in your part program when you finish taking the necessary number of hits.

You don't have to use the toolbar. If you don't use any of these toolbar icons, PC-DMIS guesses the correct feature type based on the number of hits and their vectors.

See the "Creating Measured Features" section in the PC-DMIS Core documentation.
