(This item pertains to the check boxes on the General tab of the Setup Options dialog box. You can open it through the F5 key or through the Edit | Preferences | Setup menu option.)
The Use Scanning Strategies for QuickAlign check box determines whether or not the DCC mode features during a QuickAlign operation are created using the scanning strategy that is defined in the .ipd (inspection plan defaults) file. However, if you modify that auto feature type and choose a new strategy prior to generating the alignment, it remembers and uses the newer strategy and no longer uses the defaults in the .ipd file.
The scanning strategies are used for a QuickAlign operation, if the following conditions are true:
This check box is marked.
The features in the manual alignment are Auto features.
The probe type is a scanning probe.
If this check box is unmarked, PC-DMIS uses the default touch trigger strategy.
For information on strategies, see "Working with Measurement Strategies" in the PC-DMIS CMM documentation.
For information on QuickAlign, see "About QuickAlign" in the "Creating and Using Alignments" chapter.
