Directly Associating Data with a Feature

As soon as Annotations are available, Feature Checks and Datums can be built and data can be associated with those features. A user could potentially measure all the features on the part independently of the GD&T analysis process and then come back after the fact and associate the appropriate measurements with the corresponding Datums and Feature Checks. To associate data with a datum or a feature check just right-click on the feature in the tree and select Associate Points or Associate Clouds. This will clear the list of currently associated points and or point clouds associated with the feature, if any are currently associated, and associate the selected points or clouds with the feature. Once features have associated data they can be evaluated all at once by right-clicking on the feature checks and selecting Evaluate all Checks.
