Click the Measure button from the Main toolbar.
Select the Measure Sphere button from the QuickStart window. The QuickStart sphere interface appears.
Using the Take Hit (right) button of your Multi Gage arm, take at least five hits to define the sphere feature. Hits should be taken so they are uniformly distributed around the circumference of the sphere. As the hits are received Multi Gage updates the number of hits. When the minimum number of hits have been received, the nominal and dimension results for the sphere are updated in the Status window.
Note: If you are not satisfied with a hit, you can remove it by clicking the Remove Hit button. You can also hold the Done (middle) button for more than one second to remove the last hit.
Note: You may take more hits than the specified minimum. For example 10/5 would display if you took 10 hits where you only need 5. This allows you to further define the sphere's geometry. When dimensioning roundness of a sphere, it is recommended to take many hits to accurately define the sphere's form.
Edit the sphere's parameters if needed. See "Editing Sphere Parameters".
Click Finish or press the Done (middle) button on your Multi Gage arm. The new sphere feature is added to the History window. The Feature ID text in the History window is colored to indicate whether the feature is in tolerance (GREEN) or out of tolerance (RED).
