Constructing features
Features can be constructed from one or more existing features. Existing features used to construct new
features are called parent features, and can be features that were measured, constructed or created. Existing
features are shown in black, and constructed features are shown in blue in the View window.
Point constructions
Points can be constructed from:
• Points • Angles
• Lines • Arcs
• Distances • Slots
• Circles • Rectangles
