These entries allow you to define the default value for the Indent options when you create the Auto features described below.
For example, the Auto Feature dialog box for Corner Point shows the three Indent options in the Contact Sample Hits Properties tab of the probe toolbox.
Auto Feature dialog box for Corner Point showing the three Indent options
The Indent values represent the minimum offset distance from the point location to the specified location on each surface.
Entry Name: DccIndent, DccIndent2, DccIndent3
Entry Type: Real Number to specify the indent distance. The default value is 0.
The use of these three entries depends on the Auto feature type:
Edge Point
The DccIndent value corresponds to the Indent 1 option and is the offset distance from the point location to the first hit on each side of the bend (or edge).
Angle Point
The DccIndent value corresponds to the Indent 1 option and is the offset distance from the point location to the sample hits on the first surface of the bend.
The DccIndent2 value corresponds to the Indent 2 option and is the offset distance from the point location for the sample hits on the second surface of the bend.
Corner Point
The DccIndent value corresponds to the Indent 1 option and is the offset distance from the point location to the sample hits on the first of the three planes.
The DccIndent2 value corresponds to the Indent 2 option and is the offset distance from the point location to the sample hits on the second of the three planes.
The DccIndent3 value corresponds to the Indent 3 option and is the offset distance from the point location to the sample hits on the third of the three planes.
Notch
The DccIndent value corresponds to the Indent 1 option and is the distance in from the edge of the open end of the notch where the parallel side hits are taken.
