Collisions are shown in the Collision Detection dialog box.

- You can select the Stop On Collision check box so that probe animation collision detection will stop if a collision occurs.

- The other options in the dialog function like those in the Execution Mode Options dialog box. (See "Executing Part Programs" in the "Using Advanced File Options" section)

When PC-DMIS has finished running Collision Detection, the path lines will be redrawn in the Graphics Display window. PC-DMIS will indicate where collisions have occurred by drawing affected path line segments in red (RBG color of 255,0,0). In addition, PC-DMIS displays a Collision List dialog box helping you to quickly locate collision problems in your part program.

The Probe Display Area

The probe will be displayed in the Probe Display Area using a green color. If a collision occurs, the portion of the probe that collides will be shown in red. The same color scheme is used to draw the probe on the screen, as well as in the Collision Detection dialog box.

- You can enlarge or shrink the drawing of the probe just as you would the part on the Graphics Display window by clicking the right mouse button above or below an imaginary horizontal line.

- You can 3D rotate the drawing of the probe by holding down CTRL and dragging the mouse using the right mouse button.

The Scale to Fit button shrinks or enlarges the drawing of the probe so that it fits back into the Collision Detection dialog box’s Probe Display Area.
