#### Vision Edge Point

To create a Vision Edge Point:

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

2. Select Auto Edge Point from the Auto Feature toolbar. You can also select the
   Insert | Feature | Auto | Point | Edge Point menu option. This opens the Auto Feature (edge point) dialog box.

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

- CAD Selection Method - F rom the Cad View, click once near the edge on the CAD surface to establish the point's location.

- Target Selection Method - From the Live View, click once near the edge of the surface to establish the point's location. Adjust the lighting and magnification from the Probe Toolbox 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 point into the Auto Feature dialog box. The hit targets will automatically be displayed for the edge point.

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

6. Click Test to test point measurement.

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

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