### DCC Height

Allows you to define the default value for the Height option that will be used when an Auto Feature is created. The Height value determines the height of the external circular feature being measured.

Entry Name: DccHeight

Entry Type: Real Number to specify the height in mm. Default value is 0.

Circle, Square Slot, Round Slot, or Ellipse:

The Height box is used for these features only if the feature is an external (or stud) feature. It allows for an extra hit on the top (and in the center) of the stud. If this value is anything but 0, PC-DMIS will take an extra hit in the center of the stud. It will then compute the height of the stud.

Cylinder or Cone:

When `TYPE = HOLE`, the Height box defines the nominal length of the feature. If you enter a Height value but do not define a depth, PC-DMIS equally divides the Height value by the number of rows indicated in the # Rows box. If a depth value is defined, the actual measured feature becomes the height minus the depth value.

- - For cylinders, the probe then works its way down the cylinder in increments until it reaches the indicated height value.

  - For cones, the probe then starts at the bottom of the cone using the defined height value (location minus length) and works its way up the length of the cone.

When `TYPE = STUD` and the Initial and Perm boxes contain non-zero values, this option will allow for an extra hit on the top of the stud in the center. If this value is anything but 0, PC-DMIS will take an extra hit in the center of the stud. It then will compute the height of the stud.
