Setting Properties for Multiple Points
Some situations arise in which you’d like to change the properties of multiple points at once. For instance, if you accidentally measure a large number of points with the wrong target offsets set in the instrument interface, you will need to correct these offsets in order for SA to properly apply probe compensation.
You can apply new tolerances or offsets to multiple points using the set Point Properties for Multiple Points dialog.
This dialog has two regions. The top region is for changing the stored target offsets, and the bottom region is for changing the point tolerances.
-
Set Target Offsets. Check this option to change the planar and radial offsets of the measured points to the values entered into the Planar and Radial fields.
-
Set Measurement Offsets Also. This applies the entered off- sets to the individual observations within a target as well. Very rarely would you not want to select this option.
-
Set Tolerances. When checked, the tolerances specified via the Tolerance Settings button will be applied to the points.
To Change Offsets or Tolerances For An Entire Group:
-
Right-click a point group and select Set Point Properties from the context menu. This will call up the Set Properties for Multiple Points dialog.
