TOG1 - This field can be toggled between RECT / POLR.
TOG3 - This value is user editable and is determined by the feature being measured. The HIT line is varied, based on the number of hits set up by the user. For example, 6 hits = 6 HIT/BASIC lines, 11 hits = 11 HIT/BASIC lines.
TOG4 - This field can be toggled between IN / OUT.
TOG6 - This field switches between the various Best Fit types available. These include: LEAST_SQR, MIN_SEP, MAX_INSC, MIN_CIRCSC, FIXED_RAD
... - As many hits as are necessary are entered at the ellipsis.
If you create a measured cylinder with more than two rows, and later change the Number of Hits in the Measured Cylinder dialog box (Insert | Feature | Measured Feature), PC-DMIS will keep the number of rows the same.
