Measurement Properties Area

Based on your current feature type, this area's contents change to include a portion of these items:

Snap: When you select Yes, measured values "snap to" the theoretical vector for Surface Points. All deviations are along the vector of the point. This is useful for focusing on a deviation along one particular vector.

Start Angle: This option specifies the Start angle of a Circle or Ellipse feature.

End Angle: This option specifies the End angle of a Circle or Ellipse feature.

Closed: When you set this value to Yes, the 2D Profile Edge Tracer determines that the first nominal segment is joined to the last nominal segment. Basically, it determines if the feature is Open or Closed.
