# Features Tool Parameters

The two Features parameters, Oriented and Scaled check boxes, indicate whether or not the tool should consider a feature's orientation and/or scale during training. By default, these two parameters are disabled.

Note:

- The Features parameters, Oriented and Scaled, are only available for the Blue Locate Tool. The Blue Read Tool only supports the Scaled parameter.
- The extracted feature orientation and scale are of limited precision. Scale is clamped to 1/4-4 times the feature size interval.

When enabled, you need to label not only a feature's position and identity, but also their orientation and/or size. This permits the tool to better cope with features that exhibit large and consistent variation in their size and/or orientation.

The orientation setting is set by manually configuring the orientation of the label. Adjust the orientation of the label by clicking on the handle on the end of the tear-drop of the label, and dragging it to the desired orientation.

The scale is configured by the software.

The example below, of a Blue Locate Tool, illustrates the same feature ("0") with the Oriented and Scaled parameters enabled, with the feature being selected at both sides of the computer chip. The feature label also has a cone shape, which indicates the orientation of the feature. The cone points towards the inside of the chip, providing orientation information. In addition, the same feature is present in different sizes because scaling is allowed.
