Measuring features
The ND 12x measures point, line, circle, distance and angle features.
To measure a feature using backward annotation (See "Select the
desired annotation" on page 31):
 Press the desired feature Measurement key
 Probe the required points
 Press the FINISH key
Auto repeat
Use auto repeat to measure several features of the same type (such
as a series of circles). Press the desired feature Measurement key twice
to activate auto repeat. For example, press the Circle Measurement
key twice to measure a series of circles. When auto repeat is selected,
the Probe feature screen becomes the Probe features screen. For
example, the Probe Circle screen becomes probe Circles screens as
shown below.
Use auto repeat and forward annotation to speed up repetitive
measurements. For example, the measurement of a dozen circles
requires the user to press the Circle Measurement key before
measuring each circle and press the FINISH key for each
measurement. The same measurements using auto repeat and
forward annotation requires the user to press the Circle Measurement
key twice before and the FINISH key once after measuring all 12
circles. Pressing the FINISH key turns off auto repeat.

Notice
Examples of measurements are shown in the next few
pages and will use crosshairs to probe points on the 2-D
demo part shipped with each unit.
