Measure groups can be edited by selecting a measure group in the Results Browser then changing the attributes in the Entity Editor. Figure 1.
Standard
ID
The ID of the measure group.
Restriction: This field is not
editable.
Visibility
Activate/deactivate the check box to turn the display of the measure group
on/off in the modeling window.
Label
Click in the field to change the label of the measure group.
Type
Select a measure type using the drop-down menu:
Distance Between
Incremental Distance
Minimum Distance
Position
Relative Displacement
Relative Angle
Angle Between
Incremental Angle
Circle Radius
Yaw Pitch Roll
Elemental Contour
Pick
Select/change the type of entity that will be added to a measure group using
the input collector. You can also left click the collector to display the
Select by ID dialog.
Note: For Minimum Distance measure groups, clicking in
the field will display the Minimum Distance dialog. Use the input
collectors to select From and To entities.
Measure List
Display the Measures List dialog. Click Delete to
remove the selected items from the Measures list. This dialog will remain
active until it is closed.
Plot Measures
Displays a dialog with the list of Measures from which curves can be
created.
Click Create Curves to display the Create
Curves dialog. Use the re-order arrows to change the order of the
measures. This is useful when creating a single curve from all the
measures belonging to a particular group. This dialog will remain active
until it is closed.
Note: For Minimum Distance
measure groups only, the Review mode button and the Edit button
will also be displayed
in the Measures List dialog.
Display
Font
Display the Font Selector dialog which allows you to select the font type,
font style, and font size.
Color
Select a measure color.
ID Visibility
Display the measure group ID.
Name
Display the measure group.
System
Display the system ID.
Magnitude
Display the magnitude value for the selected measure group.
If set to None, Magnitude is not displayed in
the modeling window. If set to
X+Y+Z (default), Magnitude is calculated from all three
components. If set to any of the other options, Magnitude is calculated from
two of the components and the measure text in the modeling window will display the option that was
used.
X
Display the X value for the selected measure group.
Y
Display the Y value for the selected measure group.
Z
Display the Z value for the selected measure group.
True angle
Display the projected true angle onto the plane.
Restriction: Applicable only for angle type measures (Relative Angle, Angle Between,
and Incremental Angle).
x-proj
Display the projected true angle onto the plane, with the x-axis as the
normal.
Restriction: Applicable only for angle type measures
(Relative Angle, Angle Between, and Incremental Angle).
y-proj
Display the projected true angle onto the plane, with the y-axis as the
normal.
Restriction: Applicable only for angle type measures
(Relative Angle, Angle Between, and Incremental Angle).
z-proj
Display the projected true angle onto the plane, with the z-axis as the
normal.
Restriction: Applicable only for a angle type
measures (Relative Angle, Angle Between, and Incremental
Angle).
Radius
Display the radius of the circle for the selected measure group.
Restriction: Applicable only for a Circle Radius
measure.
Ctr X
Display the X-coordinate of the center of the circle for the selected
measure group.
Restriction: Applicable only for a Circle Radius
measure.
Ctr Y
Display the Y-coordinate of the center of the circle for the selected
measure group.
Restriction: Applicable only for a Circle Radius
measure.
Ctr Z
Display the Z-coordinate of the center of the circle for the selected
measure group.
Restriction: Applicable only for a Circle Radius
measure.
Advanced
Tracking
Change the resolved in system to a tracking system.
Resolved in
Select a system using the input collector. You can also hold down Shift and left click the collector to display the Select
by ID dialog.
Global
Transparency
Activate/deactivate the transparency mode.
Auto hide
Hide the measure group box when the selected entities are not visible on the
screen.
Format
Select the Fixed or Scientific
format from the drop-down menu.
Precision
Increase or decrease the precision level using the up/down arrows.
Angle
Select Degrees or Radians for
the angle using the drop-down menu.
and the Edit button
will also be displayed
in the Measures List dialog.
