#### Cylinder Basic Scan - Wire frame Data Method

Wire frame CAD data also can be used to generate a cylindrical scan.

To generate the cylinder:

1. Click near the desired wire on the cylinder. PC-DMIS will highlight the selected wire.

2. Verify that the correct feature has been selected.

The dialog box will display the value of the selected cylinder's center point and diameter once the wire has been indicated.

Note: If the underlying CAD element is not a cylinder or arc, additional clicks may be necessary to identify the feature. If PC-DMIS doesn't highlight the correct feature, try clicking on at least two additional locations of the cylinder.

- CutVec: This vector is the axis of the cylinder and is the plane in which the scanning will be done.

- InitVec: This vector describes direction in which the probe will take it’s first hit to start the scan. This vector is calculated according to the mode of Data Entry. This vector and the CutVec are normal to each other.
