Measure Boss/Bore

The Measure Boss/Bore probe feature probes outside (Boss) or inside (Bore) from one, two, or four directions. The location of the feature should be at the level of the top of the Boss or Bore feature. The Clear Height is above this location and the Measure Height is below, so the total movement along the Probe Direction is (Clear Height + Measure Height).
