Catalog ​

Browse every supported control measure, grouped by APP-6 category. Each entry shows a preview, its symbol entity code, its kind ID, geometry, required points, text amplifier fields, and configurable options with their defaults.

Use the kind ID as kind when you render or draw a measure. The catalog is generated from the library's metadata, so it always matches the installed version; read the same data at runtime with listControlMeasureMetadata().
