2 Move the stage to position the stitch frames (shown in blue) at the desired locations selecting all or only portions of the image you wish to stitch. Press the screen or Enter button at each frame location. The frames are not required to be adjacent. Frames need only enclose areas that you wish to measure. When the frames enclose the image, the Stitch Dialog will be displayed as in rectangular stitching described above. 3 Press Automatically for CNC image stitching or Manual for manual stitching. 4 When manual stitching is selected, follow the user guidance arrow to store the stage locations. Move the stage to insert a red arrow into the green target circle. CNC systems will perform this task automatically. 5 The final stitched image will appear in the live video and part view windows. The video image can now be probed and measured. In this example, only portions of the super image that are important to the desired feature measurements were collected and stitched (areas shown in blue were not collected).

Preset Stage Stitching Three color coded stage areas can be stitched by the user using Preset Stage tools. Used in conjunction with pattern recognition, each of these three stage areas can be used by the system for temporary part fixturing. To perform preset stage stitching: 1 Move the stage to the first frame location. 2 Long-press the colored rectangle on the screen to store the first stage location of the stitched zone and begin the storage sequence (green in this example).

3 Follow the red arrow which is now enclosed by the colored preset rectangle. Press in the preset box or press Enter to store each preset location boundary on the stage. When the presets have enclosed the image, the Stitch dialog will be displayed.
