      <div class="title_division">Vector Method</div>
      <p class="para_division">You can define the geometry of a vector on a feature using the Vector Method. To select the vector method for a hole axis, you choose from the following list (list varies based on the geometry type you are selecting):</p>
      <ul>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Face Normal</p>

      <div class="title_division">Reverse Direction</div>
      <p class="para_division">Once the axis has been set, the Reverse Direction button reverses the direction of the accessibility vector. </p>
      <div class="title_division">Remove</div>

                        <p class="para_note_body">A hole feature can have one or two accessibility vectors depending on whether it's a blind or through hole. Once an accessibility vector is defined the system will look at the parents MCS tool axis setting to evaluate accessibility. If the tool axis in the MCS is set to All Axis, then the defined vector has no meaning. If set to a specific vector (Z of MCS or Fixed Axis) then the accessibility vector will be compared with the MCS vector during classification and features not matching the vector of the MCS will be dismissed and not grouped. </p>
