### Analysis

The Analysis area of this dialog box allows you to choose to view the dimension(s) selected from the Dimension List box in either a graphical or a textual readout.

By default the check boxes in the Analysis area are not selected. When you select either the Textual or Graphical check box and click Apply, PC-DMIS will show the selected dimensions in a textual format or a graphical image. It will not display any CAD data.

It is helpful to have either the Graphical or Textual Analysis option on when having a problem with a feature whose cause needs to be determined.

Example: Suppose you are inspecting a plane for flatness, and you find it is out of tolerance. Using the Graphical Analysis option will allow you to examine the plane and determine if a specific area is bad or if the entire surface is irregular.

To select Graphical or Textual analysis from within a Dimension dialog box:

1. Select Dimension from the menu bar.

2. Select the dimension option you will be using from the menu. A dimension dialog box will appear.

3. Select either the Graphical or Textual check boxes.

4. Finish the dimensioning process.
