Auto Measure Vector Group (Multi-Measure)

Vector groups provide an advantage or points in that they include a direction component. This allows measurements to be taken at a specific location along a vector axis even if there is a vertical offset.

Once an alignment has been performed select Auto Measure Vector Group (Multi-Measure). This command provides the means to measure a vector group with man of the controls offered through Auto Measure points. This command begins with vector selection and then on option to configure a vector group dis- playing the point to nominal vector deviations.

The Auto Measure Vector Group dialog will then appear. Settings at the bottom of the dialog control error conditions such as when to skip a vector.

Controls for vector measurement directly follow those available for point measurements. The Single Point button provides a means to mea- sure the current selected vector. The automatic Start and Stop controls allow you to begin measuring at the selected vector and automatically progress through the list.

The Clear Results offers an option to clear the current vector measurement status in the display, while Reporting offers direct access to the deviation vector group properties dialog.

The Make Vector Group button provides several options to generate additional vector groups for re-measurement purposes or reporting.

Vectors are automatically skipped if the error condition settings are exceeded.
