#### Rotating, Sizing, or Moving Gages

You can easily rotate, size, or move the gage on the graphical representation of the part. Once you correctly position the gage over a feature, sizing it to fit the shape of the feature, the software dynamically updates information on the gage in the Probe Toolbox as well as the overlay in your Live View tab. You can then use this information as the nominal values of the feature.

Rotate a Gage: Position the mouse over the green dot (some gages don't have a green dot and can't be rotated). The mouse cursor changes to a rounded arrow. Simply click and drag to perform a 2D rotation of the part in either the left or right direction.

Laterally Sizing Gages: Position the mouse over a red dot until the mouse cursor changes to a two-way arrow. Click and drag the gage to laterally size the gage either larger or smaller.

Note: The Radius Chart gage and the Grid Chart gage don't have a red dot. To size these gages, simply select a part of the gage and drag it.

Moving Gages: Position the mouse over the red crosshair at the middle of the gage until the mouse cursor changes to a four-way arrow. Click and drag the mouse to move the gage to a new location. You can also simply click anywhere on the part and PC-DMIS Vision will move the gage to where you clicked.
