Execute Feature

To execute only the feature on which the cursor rests, select the File | Partial Execution | Execute Feature option.

PC-DMIS displays the Execution dialog box.

If PC-DMIS is set to manual mode (mode = MANUAL), automatic machine motion does not occur. Instead, PC-DMIS prompts you to move the machine to take the necessary hits.

If PC-DMIS is set to DCC mode (mode = DCC), it automatically moves the probe based on the parameters set in the dialog box.

WARNING: When you do this, the machine moves. To avoid injury, stay clear of the machine. To avoid hardware damage, run the machine at a slower speed.

To maintain good execution speeds, PC-DMIS does not generate a report in the Report window if using the Execute Feature functionality. However, you can still view report-like information inside the Status window.
