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

Point constructed from a point

A duplicate feature can be useful when it becomes desirable to perform
new operations with the original while retaining a copy. To construct a
point from an existing point:
1 Touch the Measure Point icon
2 Touch the desired point in the Features list
3 Press the Enter key
4 Press the Finish key
The new point feature will be constructed over the original point.

Point constructed from a point and a line

The point will be constructed where the perpendicular from the original
point intersects the line or its extension.
To construct a point from an existing point and a line:
1 Touch the Measure Point icon
2 Touch the desired point feature
3 Touch the desired line feature
4 Press the Enter key
