• Measured Plane

• Measured Circle

• Measured Sphere

• Measured Torus

• Measured Cone

• Measured Square Slot

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

The following major topics are covered in this chapter.

• Inserting a Measured Feature

• Editing a Measured Feature

• Overriding a Guessed Measured Feature

• Creating Measured Feature Sets

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