Polar grids
A polar grid measures a part with like features that are in a rotational
array. For example, create a polar grid to measure a bolt hole pattern.
The programming wizard that creates a polar grid requires the user to
input the number of features and the angle between the features.
Before creating a polar grid, create a new part program. Use the center
of the polar grid features as the zero point of the part.
To create a polar grid:
 Position the first feature in the polar array in the center of the field
of view as shown
All features in a polar grid must be evenly spaced.
Make certain the program is recording before completing
the following steps.
