You can use the Setup tab for the Adaptive Cylinder Spiral Scan strategy to supply all known information about a feature's tolerance requirements and surface type, and PC-DMIS does the rest.
Size
If the purpose of the measurement is size tolerance, select this check box. If you select it, PC-DMIS scans the feature based on the Size tolerance value that you enter. If the Size tolerance value that you enter is very loose or very tight, PC-DMIS scans the feature very slowly. Otherwise, PC-DMIS scans the feature quickly.
Location
If the purpose of the measurement is location tolerance, select this check box. If you select it, PC-DMIS scans the feature based on the Location tolerance value that you enter. The looser the Location tolerance value, the slower the scan. The tighter the Location tolerance, the faster the scan.
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 in the Size, Location, and Form boxes.
Surface Type
Select Polished, Machined, Ground, or Cast.
