Insert Break
To insert a break between scan points, select this option. As a result, PC-DMIS will send multiple scan commands to the controller. Break points in the scan path can help to scan even if the path is not continuous due to any reason. The scan does the following:
Retracts off the part based on the current value for the Retract parameter.
Moves to the next scan point at a prehit distance based on the current value for the Prehit parameter.
Begins the next scan.
Insert Move
To insert a move point to avoid an obstacle, select this option. Move points in the scan path can help to avoid any obstruction in the scan path. The Insert Point dialog box appears:
