To use the Quick Scan functionality to generate points instead of scans, do one of the following:
Select the Point Only Mode icon on the Probe Mode toolbar (View | Toolbars | Probe Mode).
Select the Point Only Mode check box on the General tab in the Setup Options dialog box (Edit | Preferences | Setup).
A quick scan in Curve mode or Surface mode will generate points instead of scans.
The generated points are grouped in the Edit window, and the group appears collapsed. The ID of the group is set to the ID of the scan. For example:
SCN1 =GROUP/SHOWALLPARAMS=NO
EXECUTION CONTROL=AS MARKED
ENDGROUP/ID=SCN1
