Section 5: Feature List, Feature Detail and Part View Functions The Feature List, Feature Detail and Part View are the primary means of viewing and manipulating features that have been measured, constructed or created in the M2 software. The Feature List facilitates feature construction, provides access to the Feature Detail views and provides a means of selecting and deleting features. The Feature Detail screens display all dimension, position, form and tolerance information for features selected in the Feature List or in the Part View. A feature graphic is also displayed that shows the data cloud of probed points. The Feature Detail also provides the means to change data fit and feature type. The Part View is a graphical display of all measured, constructed or created features in the current reference frame. The Part View supports feature selection for constructions using the same simple method as the Feature List. A simple set of tools are provided for zooming and panning in the Part View. For touch screen enabled systems, pinch zooming and two finger panning are also supported.

The primary functions of the Feature List include: • Displaying features • Selecting features • Deleting features • Displaying program steps in the programming mode Displaying Features All features that have been measured, constructed or created are displayed in the Feature List with their tolerance status indicated by color.
