Enable Simplified Measurement UI

Overview

The simplified CAD measurement interface adds a limited set of button functions to the active display window for quick feature programming. When the user interface preference to Use simplified CAD measurement interface is enabled, the traditional measurement interface dialog is hidden, and a small set of button icons are displayed on the active display window instead. Changing parameters using the simplified interface, such as target number of points or depth, will automatically re-create the path and be reflected on the active display window.

The simplified CAD measurement interface only applies to new CAD teach operations in Teach-On mode. The simplified interface will only display for the following CAD teach feature operations: 2D -Line, Circle, Ellipse, Curve (Point Cloud); Slots - Round Slot, Open Slot, Square Slot; Point; 3D - Plane, Circular Plane, Cylinder, Cone, Sphere, Surface (Point Cloud).
