Inserting a Move Increment Command

The Insert | Move | Move Increment menu option displays the Move Increment dialog box. You can use this dialog box to define the move increment command before you insert the command into your measurement routine.

XYZ Move boxes OK button Cancel button Store Move check box OK to Move check box

Move Increment dialog box

When you click OK, PC-DMIS inserts the Move Increment command.

The Edit window command line for a Move Increment would read:
MOVE/INCREMENT, x, y, z

When PC-DMIS encounters this command, it moves the probe the indicated XYZ distance (not an XYZ location as in a MOVE/POINT command). You must select the Store Move check box for this command to appear in the Edit window.

For descriptions of the Move area and the Store Move and Ok to Move check boxes, see the same topics under the Move Point dialog box above.
