Question about Default Filters

[[Za...]]

Lets say I set up my default filter/outlier settings, ex: 



Then I extract a feature. I notice that in the Evaluation settings, Filter/Outlier isn't toggled on by default, even with the default settings set up. My question: Do I still need to toggle them on to get to them to work? Or are they automatically on in the background because I set up the defaults, and I only need to toggle them on if I want different settings from the default?

When you use this option, the settings are applied to any characteristic that you create.  In essence, the end result is the same.  The only differences are 1) the features used for your base alignment do not get the benefit of having filters and outliers applied to them and 2) when looking the features, you might see differences in actual values vs. the results on the report. 

Unfortunately, when using this option, the Outlier Elimination settings for pre-filters don't change between circular and linear features.  Maybe someone will post that it doesn't matter. 

In my 2nd Basic class in 2008, the instructor suggested just checking all 12 checkboxes and followed with that it was better use the default settings even though they may not be the correct settings.  In other words, the wrong settings are better than no settings.
