You can extract a laser Auto feature from a Mesh data object with the laser Auto Feature dialog box.
For details about extracting laser Auto Surface Points from a Mesh data object, see "Extracting a laser Auto Surface Point from a Mesh".
If there's only one Mesh in your measurement routine, PC-DMIS defaults to the Mesh as your reference data object. If there's a COP (or more than one COP) and one or more Mesh data objects, you need to select the correct reference data object from the Reference list of the Feature Extraction tab in the Probe Toolbox.
When PC-DMIS extracts the laser Auto feature from a
Mesh data object, it first considers all the triangle vertices inside
the extraction zone, defined by the horizontal and vertical clipping.
To view the points that fall within the extraction zone, click the Show/Hide segregated points button (
) on the Laser Scan Properties
tab.
Click the Test button to measure the feature and view its measured points.

Orange points show segregated points found within the extraction zone.
Green points show measured points after PC-DMIS performs the test operation when you click the Test button.
