Backward/forward annotation
Use forward annotation to require a specified number of points for each feature
type. Use backward annotation to allow the operator to determine the number
of points. When using forward annotation, the number of required points is
shown on the top left corner of the screen. As points are entered the number
counts down. Backward annotation displays the number of points as they are
entered. Some users prefer forward annotation because it sets a uniform num-
ber of points for feature measurements. For example, forward annotation can
be set to require 4 points when measuring a circle instead of the minimum three
points. Since the QC200 expects a certain number of points using forward
annotation the system automatically displays the feature after the last required
point is entered. It is not necessary to press the finish key in forward annotation
measurements.
