Measuring
To probe a feature using Measure Magic, touch the
Measure Magic measure icon (if not configured to
auto-start), probe points on the desired feature and
then press the Finish key.
Probing specific feature types without Measure Magic
When Measure Magic is not used, a measure icon must be touched before a feature type is probed. How-
ever, a series of features of the same type can be probed by touching the desired measure icon and then
touching the multiple measurement icon.
Probing a single specific feature type
To probe a single feature without Measure Magic, touch the desired measure icon, probe points on the
feature and then press the Finish key. A measure icon must be touched again to measure the next feature.
In this example a single circle is probed.
When a specific measure function is used to probe
the feature, the feature type cannot be changed once
it is added to the feature list.
Probing multiple specific feature types
To probe a series of features without Measure Magic, touch the desired measure icon, touch the multiple
measurement icon, probe points on each feature pressing the Finish key to conclude each feature measure-
ment. In this example multiple circles are probed.
When a measure icon is touched to probe a series of similar features, the feature type cannot be changed
once features have been added to the feature list.
Touch the circle icon for circle measurements... and then touch the multiple measurement icon to
measure a series of circle features
