### Read Pos Updates XYZ

Normally, when you perform a Read Position operation (Read Pos, Find Hole, or On Error) the Z remains at the nominal location. This allows you to simply place the probe above the feature so you don't have to spend extra time carefully moving the probe into the hole.

When using Read Position with auto features, this entry, however, lets you specify whether or not a Read Position operation includes all three axes: X,Y, and Z, instead of the usual X,Y.

If you set this entry to TRUE, then PC-DMIS's read position operation for also includes the Z axis. If set to FALSE, then PC-DMIS behaves as it always has, using only the X and Y axes.

Entry Name: ReadPosUpdatesXYZ

Entry Type: True/False value. Default value is FALSE.

Note: If your Auto Feature uses an RMEAS feature, then the RMEAS feature overrides this entry causing the probe to only update the X and Y position, even if this is set to TRUE. If you have an RMEAS feature and still want this to update the Z axes then set the ReadPosUpdateXYZEvenIfRMeas entry to TRUE.
