Probes

Measurement results are sent to the Features tem-

plate and the Results window. Circle measure-

ment results include:

• The feature type and feature number

• The number of points acquired and the

number of points used to calculate feature data

• The circle radius and diameter of the circle

• The geometric center location of the feature

• The form value

Arcs

To acquire points along an arc edge, use Measure Magic or select a arc feature measurement, select the

Circle probe and position it near the arc. The circle probe must now be configured to measure the arc. To

acquire points along the edge of an arc:

1 Click the circle

dividing line and drag

the circle open to the ap-

proximate arc length.

2 Position the circle probe segment over the arc,

then fit the segment to the arc using techniques dis-

cussed earlier in this chapter.

3 Enable the High Accuracy mode to optimize

probe positioning when the probe is fired and click

the center mouse button to fire the probe.

The probe is positioned and fit precisely over the arc
