3 Select an alignment axis from the Axis drop-down list. In the next step, offsets will be specified extending from the two features previously measured to this axis. In this example the X axis was selected. 4 Enter the desired skew offsets from Feature #1 and Feature #2 to the selected axis in the same order in which the features were measured. These offsets are the distances from the geometric centers of the features to the selected axis. 5 Press the Done button to complete the skew offset value entry. The system will proceed to the measure mode. Measure toolbar > Done button 6 Select Feature #1 and Feature #2 in the Feature List in the same order in which they were measured and then press the Done button. The offsets entered in the previous step will be applied to the features and a new offset part skew will be created by the system. An offset feature will also be added to the Feature List.

Select a skew axis and enter offsets
The skew alignment will be offset
To reset the part skew to its original orientation: 1 Delete the offset feature from the Feature List. 2 Repeat the process described above but enter the original X or Y value offset of Feature #1 and Feature #2 noted from step 1. Managing Multiple Reference Frames The M3 system supports multiple reference frames as follows: • By default, while several reference frames can be created during a measurement session, the reference frames are not automatically saved, and all measurements will be referred to the last reference frame created (the current reference frame). • When multiple reference frames are created and then saved, either manually or automatically, measurements will be referred to their own reference frames. • Reference frames are identified in the small Feature Detail viewport, in the large Feature Detail screen that appears in the center viewport and in the System toolbar or Extra menu when the Reference Frame button is enabled in the Desktop Settings screen. • Saved reference frames and their related measurements are displayed with color coded bars in the Feature List and in the System toolbar.
