Adding measured features using portable devices is typically accomplished by means of the Quick Start interface.
Measure toolbar on the Quick Start interface
As you take hits on the part, PC-DMIS interprets the number of hits, the hit vectors, and so on to determine the feature that should be added to the measurement routine.
The supported measured features are: Point, Line, Plane, Circle, Cylinder, Cone, Sphere, Torus, Round Slot, and Square Slot. From the Measure toolbar, you can also add manual scans or create features in guess mode. For more information on measuring square slots, see "A Note on Square Slots".
For detailed information on creating measured features, see "Inserting Measured Features" in the PC-DMIS CMM documentation. You can find additional information for measured features in the "Creating Measured Features" chapter in the PC-DMIS Core documentation.
You can also create auto features using portable devices.
For information, see "Creating Auto Features" in the PC-DMIS CMM documentation. You can find additional information for auto features in the "Creating Auto Features" chapter in the PC-DMIS Core documentation.
