#### Auto Feature Guess Mode

PC-DMIS Vision will automatically determine what type of feature to add to your part program. Based upon the hits taken, auto features are guessed when the Quick Start window is open. The example below shows the process of guessing a Vision Auto Circle feature, but would be similar for any of the supported features (Edge Point, Line, Circle, Round Slot, Square Slot or Notch Slot).

To measure Vision Auto Circle using Guess Mode:

1. Select the View | Other Windows | Quick Start menu option. The Quick Start window appears.

2. Take your first hit on the edge of the circle feature by using you machine's jogbox, or by left-clicking on the features edge in the Live View. The Quick Start window will update showing one hit (1/1) in the buffer and the guessed POINT feature.

3. Take your second hit on the edge of the circle in the same way as the first hit in a different location. The Quick Start window will update showing two hits (2/2) in the buffer and the guessed LINE feature.

4. Take your third hit on the edge of the circle in the same way as the first two hits at yet another location. The Quick Start window will update showing three hits (3/3) in the buffer and the guessed CIRCLE feature.

7. To display the feature target, click the Show Target Toggle button on the Live View tab of the Graphic Display window (See "Live View").
