Specifying feature selection zones size
The feature selection zone is the circular
area around the tip of the arrow cursor.
Features are recognized by the QC5000
system only within this area.
The diameter the selection zone can be
increased or decreased by entering a size
into the Feature selection... data field.
Increasing the diameter of the selection
zone makes feature selection less sensi-
tive, but increases the danger of acciden-
tally selecting multiple features. Decreas-
ing the diameter of the selection zone
reduces the danger of accidentally select-
ing multiple features, but increases the
difficulty of selecting an individual fea-
ture.
NOTE
The default 7 pixel diameter strikes an excellent balance of
sensitivity and ease of operation, and should be retained if
possible.
Specifying automatic redraw of part view
During program execution, the part view is periodically redrawn to show the
probe position changing as features are measured. The part view is redrawn
each time the probe moves the distance specified in the data field. Change the
redraw rate by entering a new value into the Minimum amount... field.
Zooming to view whole part on measurements
Check the Zooming to fit... box to zoom to display the entire part when a
feature is mea-
sured or created.
