Item | Description
Round hole CA area Round slot DG area | Note: When you hover your mouse over an option in this area, a screen tip about the option appears. ID box: This box displays the ID of the feature. The option that you select in the E-Rule list becomes part of the ID. X, Y, and Z Center boxes: These boxes display the X, Y, and Z coordinates of the feature's center.

I, J, and K Vector boxes: Type the I, J, and K values of the feature's vector for the measurement.

I, J, and K RT boxes: Type the I, J, and K values of the feature's RT (report vector) for the evaluation of the point.

D box: Type the diameter of the circle.

W box: Type the width (i.e., the diameter) of the round slot.

L box: Type the length of the round slot.

+Tol lists: Select the upper tolerances for the X, Y, Z, RT, and D (diameter) dimension axes.

-Tol lists: Select the lower tolerances for the X, Y, Z, RT, and D (diameter) dimension axes.

Output X-axis, Output Y-axis, Output Z-axis, Output RT-axis, and Output Diameter check boxes: To print tolerances to the Edit Window and to reports (when PC-DMIS is set up to store information in a format to be viewed textually), select the check box for each tolerance you want to print. The check box for each axis that needs to be evaluated according to the option you select in the E-Rule list is automatically selected (and greyed out). You can change these check boxes only by selecting a different option in the E-Rule list.

Comments boxes: Type comments in these boxes. The comments will appear in front of the dimensions in reports when PC-DMIS is set up to store information in a format to be viewed textually.

E-Rule list: Select the E-Rule (evaluation rule), which defines the axis that will be tolerated. To view the description of an option, hover your mouse over the option. The option that you select becomes part of the ID in the ID box.

T-Rule box: Use this box to save the current tolerances in a T-Rule (tolerance rule). This is useful for tolerances that are used often, such as -0.3 and 0.3. You can also recall the tolerances for an existing T-Rule and delete a T-Rule.

- To create a T-Rule, type a name for the rule and then right-click. The following options appear:

Select Save. The T-Rule appears in the list.

- To recall the tolerances for an existing T-Rule, select the rule in the list.

- To delete a T-Rule, select the rule you want to delete, right-click, and select Delete.
