Feature Selection - Introduction

Feature Selection provides expanded capabilities to Geomet through the use of random feature selections. Geomet has been developed over the years as a sequential part programming tool. This means that operation normally took place and the last x number of features. For example if you wanted to obtain the distance between two coplanar circles you would press the distance key assuming the two circles were the last two features in your report stack. If they were not, then you would recall the circles to ensure they were the last two features in the report.

Feature Selection allows you to select these features anywhere in the report and perform the distance function.From the Feature Selection dialog, you can perform the following:• Distances• Intersections• Angles• Bisects• Fit Lines• Fit Circles• Fit PlanesTo activate the Feature Selector anytime during your inspection process either right-click your mouse over the report area or run your mouse to the left edge of the report halfway down to the bottom. If you use the right-click method you should not have any features selected in your report. The feature rule applies in that any feature selected will popup a submenu designed for that feature selected. If you do not want any features selected, press the <Esc> key first. If no features were selected, a right-click will popup the feature selection dialog.
