## Understanding the General Command Format

In the Edit window all constructed features are displayed in the following format. There will be slight variations that are explained more thoroughly in the following sections.

The actual Edit report will be displayed using all CAPS. | For example: Feature_name=FEAT/TYPE OF FEATURE,TOG1,..... THEO /x_cord,y_cord,z_cord,i_vec,j_vec,k_vec,...... ACTL /x_cord,y_cord,z_cord,i_vec,j_vec,k_vec,...... CONSTR/TOG2,TOG3,......

feature_name: name of feature. This is a user editable field.

TYPE OF FEATURE: This field denotes the feature type. This feature type is the same as TOG2 but is non-editable and is not a toggle field.

...... : This indicates that what follows is unique to each feature. This is explained more thoroughly in the necessary areas of the manualhelp file.

TOG1: This field is present in all features and can be switched between RECT / POLR. If this feature is RECT, all points are represented in Cartesian system (x, y, z). If field is POLR, all points are displayed in polar system (x_radius, y_angle, z_height). Vectors do not change.

TOG2: This field is present in all features and can be switched between the different types of features taking the following values:

CIRCLE / CONE / CYLINDER / LINE / PLANE / POINT / SPHERE / CURVE / SURFACE / SET /

POINT is the default feature type when the construct command line is opened for the first time in a part program. The default feature type then becomes the last constructed feature type.

TOG3: This field is also present in all features, but takes unique values according to the type of feature. (See specific feature type for additional information.)
