### Displaying Existing Machines in the Graphics Display Window

To display a representation of a measuring machine in the Graphics Display window, access the Machine dialog box, select a machine from the Name list. PC-DMIS automatically displays the selected machine in the Graphics Display window along with the part's CAD model.

To display the machine's volume, click the Show Machine Volume check box and click Apply. This draws a yellow cube on the machine's table top, representing the range of motion the probe would be able to move using that machine (see the example graphic below).

Click OK to accept the display of the machine.

PC-DMIS also inserts a LOADMACHINE/NAME command into the Edit window, where NAME is the machine's name.
