#### Measurement Properties Area

Snap: When Yes is selected, measured values "snap to" the theoretical vector for Surface Points. All the deviation will be along the vector of the point. This is useful for focusing on a deviation along one particular vector.

Length: Specifies the Length of a Line feature.

Bounded: When Yes is selected, the End property is available in the "Feature Properties Area"to define the end point of a Line feature.

Start Angle: Specifies the Start angle of a Circle feature.

End Angle: Specifies the End angle of a Circle feature.

Inner/Outer: Circle, Square Slot, Round Slot, Notch Slot, Ellipse or Polygon features allow you to determine whether the feature is an Inner or Outer feature.

Diameter: Specifies the diameter of a Circle or Polygon feature. The diameter for a polygon defines an inscribed circle within the polygon.

Major Diam: Specifies the diameter of the long axis of an Ellipse feature.

Minor Diam: Specifies the diameter of the short axis of an Ellipse feature.

Width: Provides the width for Round Slot, Square Slots or Notch Slots.

Length: Provides the length for Round Slot, Square Slots or Notch Slots.

Num Sides: Specifies the number of sides for a Polygon feature (3-12).

Closed: When this value is set to "Yes" the 2D Profile Edge Tracer determines that the first nominal segment is joined to the last nominal segment. Basically, it determines if the feature is Open or Closed.
