Video Inspection Software User’s Guide
The Feature List, feature detail and Part View are the primary means of viewing and manipulating features that have been measured, constructed or created in the M3 software. The Feature List facilitates feature construction, provides access to the feature detail views and provides a means of selecting and deleting features. The feature detail screens display all dimension, position, form and tolerance information for features selected in the Feature List or in the Part View. A feature graphic is also displayed that shows the data cloud of probed points. The feature detail also provides the means to change data fit and feature type. The Part View is a graphical display of all measured, constructed or created features in the current reference frame. The Part View can also contain additional graphic elements such as feature annotations, a reference frame indicator and grid lines. The Part View supports feature selection for constructions using the same simple method as the Feature List. Feature selection from the Part View also provides a means of dimensioning features. A simple set of tools are provided for zooming and panning in the Part View. For touch screen enabled systems, pinch zooming and two finger panning are also supported. The Feature List The Feature List always appears at the right side of the screen and changes slightly to support the current user activities. The primary functions of the Feature List include: • Displaying part name and run numbers • Displaying features • Selecting features • Deleting features • Displaying program steps in the programming mode Displaying Part Name and Run Numbers The top of the Feature List displays a generic part name when a program is run for the first time. A run number is also displayed when the program is run again. Run numbers are incremented in subsequent program executions. After the program is saved, the generic program name is replaced by the saved name. Section 6: Feature List, Feature Detail and Part View Functions
