Creating a Measured Square Slot

Measured Square Slot button

Use the Square Slot button to create a measured square slot.

To create a measured square slot, you must take five hits on the slot. To do this, take two on one of the long sides of the slot and then one hit on each of the three remaining sides. The hits must be taken in a strictly clockwise (CW) or counterclockwise (CCW) direction.

You can also create measured slots from two points.

This is useful when the probe sphere is larger than the slot's diameter, and you're not able to take the required hits. For more information, see "Creating Two-Point Measured Slot Features" in the PC-DMIS Portable documentation.
