Probing and Measuring Features

Probing specific feature types

When measure magic is not used a measure icon must be touched before each specific feature type is
probed. However, a series of features of the same type can be probed by touching the desired measure icon
and then touching multiple measurement icon.

Probing a single specific feature type

To probe a single feature of a specific type, touch
the desired measure icon, probe points on the fea-
ture and then press the Finish key. A measure icon
must be touched again to measure the next feature.
In this example the circle icon is touched to measure a single circle.
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 of a specific type, touch the desired measure icon, touch the multiple measure-
ment icon, probe points on each feature pressing the Finish key to conclude each feature measurement. In
this example icons are touched to probe multiple circles.
Touch the circle icon for circle measurements... and then touch the multiple measurement icon to
measure a series of circle features
When a specific measure function is used to probe a series of similar features, the feature type cannot be
changed once features have been added to the feature list.
