This table describes the available Location Axes and their functions that you can choose from while editing dimension information.
The following options are available:
Worst
check box
This option uses the axis that gives the worst out of tolerance condition.
PC-DMIS searches through the available axes and selects the one that gives
the worst case scenario for the dimension.
Use Dim
Axes check box
This option simply uses the axes that were previously defined in the dimension's
dialog box.
X check
box
Displays the X axis value.
Y check
box
Displays the Y axis value.
Z check
box
Displays the Z axis value.
Prad check
box
Prad stands for Polar Radius. This option selects Polar coordinates.
Pang check
box
Pang stands for Polar Angle. This option selects Polar coordinates.
Area
check box
Displays the area of a selected Blob
feature. It appears as AR in the DIMINFO box and in the report. (PC-DMIS
Vision uses Blob features.) Legacy reports only show this information
if you also mark the Use dim axes check box
from the Position area. For information on Use dim axes, see "Position
Axes".
D check
box
Displays Diameter value.
R check
box
Displays the Radius (half of Diameter) value.
A check
box
Displays the Angle (for cones) value.
L check
box
Displays the Length (used for cylinders, slots, cones, and ellipses).
H check
box
Displays the height.
V check
box
Displays the vector location.
T check
box
Displays error along approach vector (for points on curved surfaces).
RT check
box
Displays the deviation along the report vector.
S check
box
Displays the deviation along the surface vector.
RS check
box
Displays the deviation along the surface report vector.
PD check
box
Displays the diameter of a circle (perpendicular to the pin vector).
Form check
box
Displays the integrated form dimension for the feature. See "Default
Axes for Location Dimensions" in the "Using
Legacy Dimensions" chapter.
