#### Spline Points

When you take manual points the spacing and path are usually inconsistent. With the Spline Points button, however, you can construct a spline curve along a path through a list of manual points and create a smooth, evenly spaced path. For a Linear Open scan PC-DMIS places all the points on the Cut Plane. For a Patch Scan it places the points for each scan line on the Cut Plane for that scan line.

The Spline Points button is not available for a Perimeter scan.

Clicking the Spline Points button displays the Point Interpolation / Approximation dialog box.
