How to Use the Sphere Probe

You can select the probe file for the Sphere probe in PC-DMIS from the Probes list on the Settings toolbar (View | Toolbars | Settings).

To measure the sphere centerpoint:

  1. Select the Sphere probe from the Probe list on the Settings toolbar.

  2. Point the tracker beam at the physical sphere.

  3. Click the Take Hit button or press Ctrl + H to measure the sphere. PC-DMIS returns the sphere centerpoint as the measured point.
