Measured circles are a 2D feature relative to the normal vector. This registry entry determines how PC-DMIS handles the normal vector for measured circles in DMIS files during a DMIS file import.
This registry entry corresponds to the Measured Circle Workplane Option in the Advanced tab of the DMIS Import Setup dialog box in PC-DMIS.
Entry Name: DMISMeasuredCircleWorkplane
Entry Type: Whole Number of -3, -2, or -1 that defines the how the normal vector is defined:
-3
= Feature
A plane feature defines the normal vector.
-2
= 3D
PC-DMIS uses the feature's nominal vector to define the normal vector.
This is the traditional method to define the normal vector. This is the
default value.
-1
= Workplane
PC-DMIS uses the current workplane as the normal vector.
