Measure Dimensions by Features
Description
This Step is used to perform dimensional measurements from a feature point to a reference feature (reference point, reference line, or reference plane). It measures the distance between a point and a geometric feature such as a point or a plane.
Measures the distance from feature points to the reference plane |
Workflow
The process of configuring this Step is shown below.
-
Configure the input. Connect the ports manually or select the input(s) under Input in the parameter configuration panel.
-
Set the parameters according to the actual requirements.
-
Select the desired output(s) under Output. For an expandable output item, click ▶ and configure the Min and Max values of the acceptable range.
Parameter Description
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Measurement Mode |
You can select Surface mode or Profile mode. For the difference in measurement dimensions under different modes, please refer to Output Description. |
Output Absolute Length |
When this is selected, the absolute value of the width (along the X-axis) between features will be output. Otherwise, a signed number will be output. |
Output Absolute Width |
When this is selected, the absolute value of the length (along the Y-axis) between features will be output. Otherwise, a signed number will be output. |
Output Absolute Height |
When this is selected, the absolute value of the height (along the Z-axis) between features will be output. Otherwise, a signed number will be output. |
Output Description
Select the output item(s) to add the output port(s) to the Step, and the corresponding data will be output after the Step is run. You can select the output according to the actual measurement requirements.
If you select an expandable output item, you must expand it by clicking ▶, and then set the Min and Max values to determine the acceptable range. If the output value falls within the qualified range, the measurement is judged as passing (OK), or else it is judged as failing (NG). |
