Move To button
This moves the field of view in the Graphic Display window and centers it on the current feature's XYZ location.
In some cases, such as a Vector Point, the XYZ location is actually offset along the normal vector by the pre-hit value. This prevents the probe from crashing into the part.
If a feature is composed of more than one point (such as a line), then clicking this button switches between the points making up the feature.
Test button
This tests a feature's creation and previews its dimensional data before it's actually created. It performs a measurement using the current parameters.
WARNING: When you do this, the machine moves. To avoid injury, stay clear of the machine. To avoid hardware damage, run the machine at a slower speed.
You can change parameters and click Test repeatedly until you have an acceptable measurement. Then when you click Create, the software converts the temporary feature into a normal feature in the measurement routine.
