#### Manually Controlling a Feature's Measurement

To manually control the measurement of a feature:

1. Click on the Stop command button in the Execution Mode Options dialog box.

2. Click the Manual Mode icon. PC-DMIS will then allow you to control the measurement process on the current hit. (See "Continue".)

When the current feature is measured in MANUAL mode, PC-DMIS will automatically return the system to DCC mode and continue to measure the part under computer control. You can press the DCC mode icon to go back to DCC mode at any time.

PC-DMIS will not replace the original hits with any of the new hits. If a measurement value needs to be altered, it must be done in the Edit window.

Note: Some auto features will ask at the end of manual measurement if you want to save the new location of the feature as the target for future executions of the part program. Clicking YES in response to this prompt will save the currently measured position as the new target.
