46 QC-300 Series User’s Guide
Probing features
Feature points can be probed using Measure Magic or by choosing a specific feature type such as the line or
circle. Measure Magic or measure functions are selected by touching icons in the measure toolbar. Repeat-
edly touching the measure tab toggles the measure toolbar between 2D and 3D functions. Measurement
results are shown in the Feature list, DRO screen and View screen.
Probing with Measure Magic
Measure Magic analyzes feature data collected by part probing and automatically determines the feature
type. Measure Magic supports the following feature types in the QC-330:
• Points • Lines • Circles • Arcs • Planes • Cylinders • Cones
When Measure Magic is used, and more than the minimum number of points required to define a feature
type are collected, the feature type can be changed manually by the user if the wrong feature type is as-
signed.
Measure can be configured to start automatically on the first probe hit in the Measure setup screen as
explained in Chapter 10: Setup.
