You can use the Setup tab for the Adaptive Cone Line Scan strategy to supply all known information about a feature's tolerance requirements and surface type, and PC-DMIS does the rest.
Form
If the purpose of the measurement is form tolerance, select this check box. If you select it, PC-DMIS scans the feature based on the Form tolerance value that you enter. The looser the Form tolerance value, the faster the scan. The tighter the Form tolerance, the slower the scan.
Tolerance
Type or select the permissible limit or the limit of variation.
Surface Type
Select Polished, Machined, Ground, or Cast.
