Measure 1: Shifter_Knob_Y_dir
•Click the 
Measures button from the Model Creation toolbar and select the top assembly from the tree, this will open the Measures dialog for this part.
•Select 
Point-Distance from the pull down list and click the [Add].
•This will open the Point Distance Measure dialog.
•Name this measure “Shifter_Knob_Y_dir ". Give it the Description "top surface of Gear Shifter knob deviation in Y direction” (Description is not mandatory).
•Select [Nominal-Point] for Measure Type.
•Click the [Add All] button and select highlighted Surface on the Stick as shown below in the next image
•Change the Dir. Type to "Type in" and set the vector direction to i=0, j=1, k=0 to only measure deviations in the Y direction.
•Set the Specification Limits to +/-1 and the Spec Mode to Relative.
•Click [OK] to create the measure.
•The completed Measure Dialog will look similar to the image below,
•Repeat the same process to create measurements for the measure 2 “Shifter_Knob_X_dir”. This measure will use the same Feature but measure along the X direction.
Measure 3: Gap_b/w_Mounting_Block_and_Pivot
Create a Point Distance Measurement between Mounting block vertical surface and Pivot vertical surface.
•Reopen the Measures dialog for the top assembly part.
•Select Point-Distance from the pull down list and click the [Add]
•This will open a new Point Distance Measure dialog.
•Name this measure “Gap_b/w_Mounting_Block_and_Pivot ". Give it the Description "Gap between mounting block and pivot vertical opposite surfaces in X direction” (Description is not mandatory).
•Select [Point-Point] for Measure Type.
•Click the [Add All] button and select [Upper_surface_to_Pivot] on the mounting block and [Surface_to_Mounting_Block] on the Pivot.
•By Default the Dir will be set to Assoc Dir.This will use the direction from Feature1 as the measure direction.
•Set the Specification Limits, uncheck the Upper Spec box and Lower Spec to be -0.3 and the Spec Mode to Relative. Upper spec is not required as the gap can’t be too big.
•Click [OK] to create the measure.
•The Completed Measure Dialog looks like the image below,
•Repeat the same for measure 4 “Gap_b/w_Pivot_and_Stick surfaces”.Pick the two features as shown in the following picture.
Feature Distance Measurement
Measure 5: Gap_b/w_stick_and_Frame_plate

•Reopen the Measures dialog for the top assembly part.
•Select Feature Distance measurement from the drop down list and Click Add.
•Name this measurement “Gap_b/w_stick_and_Frame_plate ". Give it the Description "Gap between gear stick bottom ball outer surface to reinforcement plate” (Description is not mandatory).
•Select [Feature-Feature] for Measure Type.
•Click the [Add] button below From: Feature box list, then select ball surface of stick [ball_pin ] and then click Close in the Select dialog.
•Then click on [Add] button below the To: feature list and select Plate of Frame as shown below,

•Next set the Specification Limits, uncheck Upper Spec box and the Lower Spec to -0.1 and the Spec Mode to Relative.
•Click [OK] to create the measure.
•The Completed Measure Dialog should look like the image below,
•Save the Model.
