### Option 3

Type in a TIP / command in the Edit window. Once you finish editing the vector, PC-DMIS will calculate the best A,B combinations that put the tip shank parallel to that vector. PC-DMIS will display these angles in the Wrist Angles Matching Requested Vector dialog box.

Wrist Angles Matching Requested Vector

There are often two or more A,B combinations that put the shank in the requested orientation. These will be displayed in the dialog, and the A,B combination that is closest to the current A,B combination on the wrist will be the default choice. If the desired vector can be obtained by an infinite A or B axis position, PC-DMIS will mark this entry with the words “any angle”. PC-DMIS will default this entry to the current value on this axis. You can key in a different value if required. Once you click OK on this dialog, PC-DMIS will add the selected A,B combination to the tip list for the active probe, and change the TIP/ command to use this new tip.
