### Working with Contact Auto Move Properties

Contact Auto Move Properties tab

This tab becomes visible when you have the Auto Feature dialog box open and a contact probe is enabled.

The Contact Auto Move Properties tab contains items that allow you to change Auto Move properties for Auto Features that use contact probes.

Hint: A useful way of visualizing how these properties affect the measurement is to display pathways and hits by using the Show Hit Targets Toggle icon .

Auto Moves are special moves added to your feature's path lines to help PC-DMIS avoid driving the probe through your feature when it actually measures it.

This tab contains the following items:

Item | Description
Avoidance Move | This list lets you choose the type of Avoidance Move for your current Auto Feature. This list contains these items: NO - There will be no Avoidance Moves used for the current feature. BEFORE - Before PC-DMIS measures the first hit on the current feature, it will first move to the specified distance above the first hit. View Demo

AFTER - After PC-DMIS measures the last hit on the current feature, it will move to the specified distance above the last hit. View Demo

BOTH - Applies the Avoidance Move distance to the path lines both before and after PC-DMIS measures the feature.

Distance | This specifies the distance above the first probing or last probing to which the probe will move during execution.
