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

Wire frame CAD data also can be used to generate points.

Click near the desired wire on the center. PC-DMIS will highlight the selected wire. It will find the closest point in the wire to the clicked location and fill up values in the list.

- CutVec: This vector is the normal vector of the Plane in which the Probe remains free as centering happens.

- InitVec: This vector is the approach vector of the Probe at the Start Point.

Type:

The following types of centering methods are allowed:

- Axis: The Start Point (S) is projected on the defined Axis (A). The resulting point is (SP). The InitVec is projected in the plane defined by the Projected point (SP) and the axial direction (A). The direction (N) thus defined is vertical to the axial direction. Thereafter, as centering is performed, the probe’s center point remains in the plane defined by the axial direction and (SP). Centering takes with / against the direction (N) as an input, and the probe tip is free in the direction defined by the axial direction (A) crossing the direction (N).
  S = Start Point
  A = Defined Axis / Axial direction
  SP = Projected Start Point
  N = The direction vertical to the axial direction.

- Plane: After probing the point defined by the Start Point, the CMM centers with/against the probe direction while remaining free in the plane defined by the CutVec.
