View Controls

A saved view can be recorded with each feature check and displayed when it is either activated for measurement or evaluated for reporting purposes. Saving a preset view with a check ensures that a comfort- able viewing angle is obtained whenever measurement is in progress. The GD&T Inspection >Design, Inspection>Inspect workflow process provides a convenient way to predefine views for a series of checks. The views from the Inspection Design interface are saved automatically and can be recalled or edited by going directly to this section in the specific datum or feature check.

In addition to the saved view orientations an option has been built into the right-click menu of the feature check category to enable Show Only Active Feature Check. When enabled, this option changes the visibility of the annotations such that only the annotations directly linked to the selected check are displayed. This included the selected check, the datums it references and any addition annotations that share the same feature associations.

Datum Alignment

A GD&T alignment performs a direct fit to the datums as an initial alignment, the measurements of the features to be checked are then divided up and the final evaluation process is conducted. These options provide tools to troubleshoot each aspect of the evaluation process.

Cloud Thinning

Controls the extent of thinning performed on point clouds associated with this check during evaluation.
