To create a vision Square Slot, follow these steps:

  1. For machines supporting DCC motion, select DCC Mode if you want to create and measure square slots in DCC mode.

  2. Select Auto Square Slot from the Auto Feature toolbar. You can also select the Insert | Feature | Auto | Square Slot menu option. This opens the Auto Feature (square slot) dialog box.

  1. With the Auto Feature dialog box open, select a square slot in one of two ways:

Click as close as possible to the CAD element to ensure PC-DMIS does not choose an incorrect element.

  1. PC-DMIS Vision automatically places the nominal data for the square slot into the Auto Feature dialog box. The hit targets are automatically displayed for the square slot.

  1. Adjust the nominal information in the Auto Feature dialog box to match the theoretical values of the square slot. Also, adjust the values of the Probe Toolbox as needed.

  2. Click Test to test square slot measurement.

  3. Click Create on the Auto Feature dialog box to add the square slot to the measurement routine.

  4. Save the measurement routine for future execution. See "A Note on Executing a Vision Measurement Routine".
