Assigning Existing Commands to a New Arm

The Toggle Multiple Arm Markings menu item is only available on systems that have entered into multiple arm mode.

If you have commands assigned to a particular arm and you want to assign them to a different arm, do the following.

1. Place the Edit window into Command mode.

2. Select the Edit window command you want to add.

3. Select Operation | Toggle Multiple Arm Markings.

When you select this option, PC-DMIS connects all of the highlighted commands to the other arm.

• If you don't highlight any commands, PC-DMIS connects the command where the cursor resides in the Edit window.

• You can assign most commands to be executed by Arm1, Arm2, or both arms. For example, you could create a PREHIT or ALIGNMENT command that applies to both Arm1 and Arm2, or to just one of the arms.

• You cannot assign certain commands to multiple arms. These include features, hits, dimensions, and probe commands.
