## Creating a ReadPoint from the Probe's Position

The ReadPoint menu option tells PC-DMIS to read the probe's current position and to insert a point in the Edit window at the read in position.

The following syntax illustrates what's inserted into the Edit window.

F_ID= FEAT/ POINT, TOG1

THEO / x, y, z, i, j, k

ACTL / x, y, z, i, j, k

READPOINT

F_ID - This is the Feature ID.

TOG1 - This toggle field that allows you to switch between the POLR and RECT coordinate systems.

X, Y, Z - This is the X, Y, Z location for the constructed point.

I, J, K - This is the I, J, K approach vector of the probe.

READPOINT - Identifies this feature as a readpoint created from the probe's position.

Below is an example of a ReadPoint feature:

F7 =FEAT/POINT,RECT
THEO/7.4982,2.0111,0.95,0,0,1
ACTL/7.4982,2.0111,0.95,0,0,1
