#### Vision Line

To create a Vision Line:

1. For machines supporting DCC motion, select DCC Mode if you want to create and measure lines in DCC mode.

2. Select Auto Line from the Auto Feature toolbar. You can also select the
   Insert | Feature | Auto | Line menu option. This opens the Auto Feature (line) dialog box.

3. With the Auto Feature dialog box open, select a line in one of two ways:

- CAD Selection Method - From the Cad View, click once on one end of the line and again at the other end on the CAD surface to establish the line's location.

- Target Selection Method - From the Live View, click to locate the start and end points of the line, or double-click to automatically add two points at the extents of the selected edge. This establishes the line's location. Adjust the lighting and magnification as needed.

Important: Click as close as possible to the CAD element to ensure the PC-DMIS will not choose an incorrect element.

4. PC-DMIS Vision automatically places the nominal data for the line into the Auto Feature dialog box. The hit targets will automatically be displayed for the line.

5. Adjust the nominal information in the Auto Feature dialog box to match the theoretical values of the line. Also, adjust the values of the Probe Toolbox as needed.

6. Click Test to test line measurement.

7. Click Create on the Auto Feature dialog box to add the line to the part program.

8. Save the part program for future execution. See "A Note on Executing a Vision Part Program".
