Dimensioning Features

Most Multi Gage features have inherent dimensions that are automatically included in the report. Once a feature is measured, the associated dimension(s) are evaluated according to the provided nominal and tolerance values.

Additional dimensions can be reported by selecting the needed dimension with the features to be evaluated. Dimensions that can be added to your report that are not already inherently added include:

• Angle

• Distance

• True Position

Here is a list of dimensions that are inherently included in the report:

• Straightness (Line)

• Flatness (Plane)

• Roundness (Circle or Sphere)

• Cylindricity (Cylinder)

• Concentricity (Cone)

Here is a list of size dimensions that are inherently included in the report:

• Length (Line and Cylinder)

• Diameter (Circle, Cylinder and Sphere)

• Cone Angle (Cone)

• Width and Length (Round Slot and Square Slot)

Input Characteristics

Multi Gage uses the point, line or plane characteristics of features as input for dimension creation. The input characteristics are derived as follows:
