3 Define the stop point. Cross the circle or arc edge at the stop point twice in opposite directions. The system will then move the stage to probe additional points until the total number of points equals the number specified earlier for the circle or arc in the Circle Auto Finish settings field or Circle Auto Finish settings field. The measurement will be completed and the circle or arc feature will be shown in the Feature List and in the Feature Detail screen.
