In the Edit window, all constructed features display in the following format. There are slight variations that are explained more thoroughly in the following sections.
The actual Edit report displays in all capital letters.
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 - The name of the feature. This is an editable field.
TYPE OF FEATURE - This field denotes the feature type. This feature type is the same as TOG2 but it is not editable, and it is not a toggle field.
...... : This indicates that what follows is unique to each feature. This is explained more thoroughly as needed in the appropriate topics.
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 the Cartesian system (x, y, z). If the field is POLR, all points display in the 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 through 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 measurement routine. The default feature type then becomes the last constructed feature type.
TOG3 - This field is also present in all features, but it takes unique values according to the type of feature. (See the specific feature type for additional information.)
