Directions
Direction Index: Lists all the input directions necessary for performing the measurement.
Direction Type: There are six different direction types for moves: Type In, Two Points, Normal, Associated Direction (AssocDir), Pick Point Direction (PickPtDir) and Auto. See: Vector Direction for more information about each direction.
Direction Number: Shows the number of input directions required to perform the measure. Some measures have the option to add more than one direction. This should associate with the amount of features or points used in the measure.
Direction Mode: Sets the Move to either Object Plane or Target Plane depending on how the points are matching. Most applications have the plane associated with the target. However Object Plane is useful when the object has a slot locating to the targets pin.
