#### Vision Square Slot

To create a Vision Square Slot:

1. For machines supporting DCC motion, select DCC Mode if you want to create and measure square slots in DCC mode.

2. Select Auto Square Slot from the Auto Feature toolbar. You can also select the Insert | Feature | Auto | Square Slot menu option. This opens the Auto Feature (square slot) dialog box.

3. With the Auto Feature dialog box open, select a square slot in one of two ways:

- CAD Selection Method - From the Cad View, click once near the edge of the square slot on the CAD surface to establish the square slot's location.

- Target Selection Method - From the Live View, click two points on one of the two longer side edges, then click one point on one of the two end edges, then once on the other longer side edge, then finally once on the other end edge. This establishes the square slot's location. Adjust the lighting and magnification as needed.

Important: Click as close as possible to the CAD element to ensure the PC-DMIS will not choose an incorrect element.

4. PC-DMIS Vision automatically places the nominal data for the square slot into the Auto Feature dialog box. The hit targets will automatically be displayed for the square slot.

5. Adjust the nominal information in the Auto Feature dialog box to match the theoretical values of the square slot. Also, adjust the values of the Probe Toolbox as needed.

6. Click Test to test square slot measurement.

7. Click Create on the Auto Feature dialog box to add the square slot to the part program.

8. Save the part program for future execution. See "A Note on Executing a Vision Part Program".
