Some measurements may be used in a Conditional or Iterative logic within a Move. The measurement outputs are typically not required, then the user can decide to turn off the measurement's output. This can also be done in the Measure dialog.

•Part Color Contour: Color Contour adds some visualization to a tolerance model. In some cases, users will only require specific parts to see if visual tolerance analysis output. This setting allows users to Show or Hide a part or assemblies Color Contour display.
