Graphical Guide
The Graphical Guide (Drive to Center Guide), originally available through the proximity triggers utility, provides a visual indication of the probe’s position with respect to a target in 2D. It is designed to make it easier for an operator to tell if they are centered on a target before taking a measurement, and does this by zooming in as you approach the target location:
The Graphical Guide is available with Instrument’s point, Closest Point and Point to Objects watch windows.
Watch window tolerances are not to be confused with the graphical guide proximity tolerance – they are independently set. A Right-click on the graphical guide window will provide the user an option to change the proximity tolerance. This is a 2D proximity tolerance set within plane of the view.
If you set a specific reference frame for the corresponding watch window, then that will be used to set the view orientation. If you set the reference frame to working frame, then the view will follow that of the main display. When in tolerance the background of the graphical view will turn green
