### Offset Move

Offset Move area

The Offset Move area lets you create move points offset from a selected CAD point or from a selected feature's centroid.

Offset - This box determines the offset distance from the CAD point or feature centroid. The unit of measurement is the same as your part program. The default is 50 mm or 1.96 inches.

Offset from CAD - This option when you click on the CAD will compute the move point at the selected point on the surface and will offset the move point by the specified distance.

- If you don't select Offset Along Tip Vector, the move point is created offset away from the surface along surface's normal vector.

- If you do select it, the move point is created in the direction of the probe tip's vector.

Offset from Feature - This option, if you click on a feature, will compute the move point by the offset distance at the feature's centroid.

- If you don't select Offset Along Tip Vector, the move point is created offset in the direction of the feature's vector.

- If you do select it, the move point is created in the direction of the probe tip's vector.

Offset Along Tip Vector - If you select this option, PC-DMIS will offset the move point along the active tip's vector. If you don't select it, PC-DMIS will offset the move point along either the CAD's surface vector or along the feature's vector.

Note: Different feature types have different vectors, when offsetting along a vector of the feature, PC-DMIS will use the vector that gives the best representation of being "outward" from the surface of the part.
