#### Creating a Measured Round Slot

| Use the Round Slot icon to create a measured round slot.
To create a measured round slot, you must take at least six hits on the slot, usually two points on each straight side and one point on each curve. Alternately, you could take three points on each curve.
Example Round Slot with Six Points

You can also create measured slots from two points. This is useful when attempting to measure a slot with a probe whose sphere size is larger than the slot's diameter and therefore cannot fit entirely into the slot to take the usual minimum number of hits required for a measured slot. See the PC-DMIS Portable documentation where this is explained in greater detail.
