This tutorial uses a CAD model. A CAD model is virtual representation of the physical part. With a CAD model, you can select the areas you want to measure from the Graphic Display window. PC-DMIS can then measure those areas on the physical part and compare the values. A report tells you if the values are within tolerance.
Select File | Import | Iges to open the Import dialog box.
Navigate to this folder:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hexagon\PC-DMIS\2020 R1\CAD
From that folder, select the HexMI_DemoBlock_Small.igs part model.
Click Import to open the IGES File dialog box.
On the IGES File dialog box, click Process, and then click OK to import the part into the Graphic Display window.
In later steps, you will use the CAD model to define features for the routine.
For more information on how to import IGES files, see the "Importing an IGES File" topic in the Using Advanced File Options" chapter in the PC-DMIS Core documentation.
