#### Step-Next

The Step Next command button continues with the measurement process but does so one step at a time, pausing the CMM after executing each step of any command that moves the CMM. While in Step Mode, hits can be inserted into features and new features can be inserted between existing features or commands. If you insert a new feature, PC-DMIS will display a dialog box allowing you to:

- Skip to the HIT /BASIC command of the new feature,

- Remeasure the new feature, or

- Continue stepping through the part program, ignoring the new feature entirely.

Step Mode can also be simulated off-line.

Step Next appears on the dialog box when PC-DMIS pauses execution for a breakpoint (see "Using Breakpoints" in the "Editing a Part Program" chapter).
