## Converting Hits to Points

You can cause PC-DMIS to receive a stream of points from the interface. To do this, hold down the Take Hit button on your portable device. This lets you quickly scan over a surface taking several points in a very short amount of time.

Once PC-DMIS receives the stream of points, it can do one of two things with them:

- Create Individual Point Features. If you are in Point Only Mode or if you have the Auto Feature Vector Point dialog box open, PC-DMIS will create individual point features from this stream of points.

- To enter Point Only Mode, click Point Only Mode from the Graphics Modes toolbar.

- To access the Vector Point dialog box, select the Vector Point from the Auto Features toolbar.

- Guess the Feature. If you are not in either of these modes, the points will go onto the hits buffer and you will see the hit count increment on the Status Bar. When you finish measuring, the resulting feature depends on your settings and if Guess Mode is being used.
