Adding a Width Feature

The DimXpert width feature determines the dimension between the midplane of two parallel features, and a third feature. The third feature can be one of the original parallel features or an unrelated feature. In this example, the third feature is one of the original planes, consequently determining the distance from one of the planes to the midplane.
