Overview 
PCDLRN ActiveX DLL : FeatCmd Object
FeatCmd Object Members
Public Methods
Adds a feature to set of input features used in constructed features.
Appends an array of IDs to the list of Input Features
This method recalculates feature nominals for a measured feature.
Recounts the hits for a measured feature.

Forces an evaluation of a feature without executing it. This takes one parameter that specifies the type of feature evaluation to perform.

[Desc already exists] 

Returns Point Data Object with interpolated circular move item data
[Desc already exists]
Returns Y14.5.1 Form error if applicable, else 0.0
Returns a PointData object with the values of the sample hit.
Returns T deviation values for specified hit
Gets ID of Input Feature
Gets Offset value for corresponding offset feature in constructed offset features
This method retrieves point information for individual objects.
Returns all Point Data Objects with hit data
Returns a PointData object with the values of the sample hit.
This method gets the surface vectors of an angle hit function.
This method retrieves vector components of individual objects.
This function returns TRUE if the data was successfully retrieved from expression, FALSE otherwise.
Sets point information for individual objects.
Sets the surface vectors for an angle hit object.
Sets vector components of individual objects.
Removes the feature at the specified index position.
Sets the hit data of a specified hit. It uses the part coordinate system relative to the current alignment.

This method works just like the SetHit method; it sets the hit data of a specified hit, but it uses a specified coordinate system and alignment.

Replaces the input feature at position Index in FeatCmd object's list of input features with ID.
Sets Offset value for coresponding offset feature in constructed offset features
Public Properties
Workplane value for constructed alignment planes and lines.
Flag indicating whether circular moves should be used between hits.
Flag indicating whether clearance planes should automatically be used with the feature.
Auto Move Flag.
Distance used in calculating auto move.
Read/Write: Auto Move Distance2
Flag indicating if selected tip should be automatically adjusted during measurement of feature.
Auto Read Position Flag.
Value representing the best fit math algorithm to be used in calculating the measured feature values based on the measured hits. Possible values include the following.
Flag indicating whether or not feature is bound.
Box length value for auto high point.
Box width value for auto high point.
Inside circular radius value for auto high point.
Outside circular radius value for auto high point.
Corner radius value for auto square slot and auto notch objects.
Indicates if the measurement mode for an auto feature should be done in find nominals mode or not.
Indicates if the measurement mode for an auto feature should be done in master mode or not.
Gets or sets a depth value for a feature command.
Auto sphere deviation value.
Flag indicating whether or not to display the angle of the cone. If this value is false, then the cone length is displayed.
Measure order for edge points.
Thickness value for edge points.
End Angle value.
Second End Angle value.
Filter object filter type.
Flag indicating whether or not to use the Find Hole routine. If this value is true, then the Find Hole routine is used.
Generic alignment mode.
Generic display mode.
Generic feature type.

This queries an Auto Feature to determine if the feature has any sample hits that have been moved by the user in the Graphics Display window.

Search mode for auto high point.
Represents the ID of the feature.
Increment value for auto high point.
Indent distance (used with sample hits).
Second indent distance (used with sample hits).
Third indent distance (used with sample hits).
Number of initial sample hits.
Indicates whether the feature is a hole (inner) or a stud (outer).
Flag used to indicate type of hit for objects that can have interior/exterior hits.
Indicates whether the feature is a three dimensional line or a two dimensional line. A value of false indicates a two dimensional line.
Read/Write: Manual PrePosition
Measured angle value.
Measured diameter value.
This property applies only to PC-DMIS commands that have a height field.
This property applies only to PC-DMIS commands that have a length field.
Measured major axis length value (ellipse).
Measured minor axis length value (ellipse).
Measured pin diameter value.
Measured shorter length value.
Flag indicating whether the slot width should be measured.
Represents the number of inputs in the feature.
Represents the number of hits on each row of the feature.
Represents the number of rows in the feature.
Read/Write: Type of Operator Norm algorithm used to best fit the constructed tangent feature
Returns the parent Command object.
Number of permanent sample hits.
Flag indicating whether polar coordinates are used on the feature. Usually defaults to false.
ID of the feature to be used when the "ReferenceType" property is set to FEATREF_FEATURE. This property is used with measured lines or measured circles.
Reference type used with measured circles and measured lines.
ID of the feature to be used for relative measurement.
Spacer distance (Usually used with sample hits).
Start Angle value.
Second Start Angle value.
