### Laser Polygon

Polygon Auto Feature

Currently, you can only use this dialog box to measure a hexagon feature (a polygon with 6 sides).

To measure a hexagon feature with a laser probe:

1. Access the Auto Features dialog box, and select Polygon.

2. Do one of the following:

1. Perform clicks on the cad to give the polygon a location and vector. Then manually enter any remaining information.

2. Move the machine to the sphere location using the Laser View tab of the Graphics Display Window. Next, click the Read Point from Position button. Then manually enter the any remaining information like the diameter, etc.

3. Manually enter all of the theoretical x, y, z, i, j, k, diameter, etc.

4. Enter the necessary information in the Probe Toolbox tabs. You will likely want to cycle through the Laser Scan, Laser Filtering, and Laser Clipping properties tabs to enter the information.

5. Click the Test button if desired. Warning: The machine will now move!

6. Click the Create button and then Close.
