Current Help System: PC-DMIS Portable (View Core Help)

# Measuring Features

Adding measured features using portable devices is typically accomplished by means of the Quick Start interface. As you take hits on the part, PC-DMIS interprets the number of hits, the hit vectors, etc to determine the feature that should be added to the part program.

The supported Measured Features are: Point, Line, Plane, Circle, Cylinder, Cone, Sphere, Round Slot, and Square Slot. From the Measure toolbar you can also add manual scans or create features in guess mode. See "A Note on Square Slots" for more information on measuring square slots.

For detailed information on creating Measured Features see "Inserting Measured Features" in the PC-DMIS CMM help file. Additional information for measured features can be found in the "Creating Measured Features" topic in the PC-DMIS Core help file.

You can also create Auto Features using portable devices. See "Creating Auto Features" in the PC-DMIS CMM help file. Additional information for auto features can be found in the "Creating Auto Features" topic in the PC-DMIS Core help file.
