   GLEN: I don't understand what the dialog box means by "Pick an edge to do an edge measurement from the context menu." So Smart Dimensioning basically allows the user to free float their mouse over their model(s) and when something highlights the system gives the user a choice of different measurements they can do for that particular type of object (edge, surface, or point).
   So to do this a user first must decide on which edge they want to perform an operation
   Next the user can left mouse click on the highlighted edge they're hovering over to perform the default action or can right mouse click to get the context menu to choose one of the measurements they can perform on the edge.
