Measure Group Entity Editor Attributes

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
