The Number of hits box allows you to change the number of hits for a specified feature.
Suppose there are four hits in the edit box. If you delete a hit, the software removes the last hit (#4) in the feature list. If you delete two hits, the software removes the last two hits (#4 and #3). PC-DMIS renumbers the remaining hits based on its current numbering assignment.
If you add a hit, PC-DMIS increases the Hit Targets list by one, displaying an extra hit at the end of the hit list. This hit does not indicate any x, y, z, i, j, k values until the measurement routine is executed. At that time, PC-DMIS prompts you to take the additional hit. PC-DMIS asks if the hits are to be equally spaced.
If you click Yes, PC-DMIS takes the hits in equally spaced intervals. For a cone, sphere, cylinder, or torus feature, PC-DMIS displays a Levels dialog box.
Levels dialog box
You can use this dialog box to specify the number of levels PC-DMIS uses to equally space the hits. The default is two.
If you click No, PC-DMIS displays the hit values as 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1. You then need to manually enter the hit values.
