## Creating Measured Features: Introduction

Whenever you take hits on a part, PC-DMIS interprets those hits into different features depending on the number of the hits, their vectors, etc. PC-DMIS creates measured features from these hits. PC-DMIS supports the following measured features:

- Measured Point

- Measured Line

- Measured Plane

- Measured Circle

- Measured Sphere

- Measured Cone

- Measured Cylinder

- Measured Round Slot

- Measured Square Slot

These features are described in detail in the "Understanding the Command Format" topic.

The following major topics are covered in this section.

- Editing a Measured Feature

- Overriding a Guessed Measured Feature

- Creating Measured Feature Sets

Note: You can also use insert measured features into your part program by using the Quick Start toolbar. For information, see the "Quick Start: Measure Toolbar" topic in the "Using Toolbars" section.
