To create a vision Surface Point, follow these steps:
For machines supporting DCC
motion, select DCC Mode 
if you want to create and measure surface points in DCC mode.
Select Auto
Surface Point 
from the Auto Feature toolbar. You can also select the
Insert | Feature | Auto | Point | Surface Point
menu option. This opens the Auto Feature
(surface point) dialog box.
Vision Surface Point Auto Feature dialog box
With the Auto Feature dialog box open, select a surface point in one of two ways:
CAD Selection Method - From the CAD tab, click once on the CAD surface (surface mode) or three times on the wireframe (curve mode) to establish the point's location.
Target Selection Method - From the Vision tab, click once on the surface to establish the point's location. Adjust the lighting and magnification from the Probe Toolbox as needed.
Click as close as possible to the CAD element to ensure PC-DMIS does not choose an incorrect element.
PC-DMIS Vision automatically places the nominal data for the point into the Auto Feature dialog box. The hit targets will automatically be displayed for the surface point.
Adjust the nominal information in the Auto Feature dialog box to match the theoretical values of the point. Also, adjust the values of the Probe Toolbox as needed.
Click Test to test point measurement.
Click Create on the Auto Feature dialog box to add the surface point to the measurement routine.
Save the measurement routine for future execution. See "A Note on Executing a Vision Measurement Routine".
