Projection Properties
Relationships have the same projection properties as a query. They provide the same probe compensation options with the added benefit of allowing changes to these settings at any time. These options include display and probe offset controls including:
-
Indicator Style. Which defines the direction of the vector and the associated end point locations. The color image indicates the selected setting. The top two options handle the probe compensation assuming a probe radius around the measure point. The bottom two options apply the offset to the surface or object.
-
Ignore edge projections. When enabled this check box causes point projections to be ignored from the relationship computation. If the points are off the edge of the surface they will query to the edge and be marked accordingly. You can ignore these points by turning them on or off using the check box here. Points off an edge typically report greater deviation than is really reflected in a part. However, you need to have them turned on in order to use them for a relationship fit.
-
Offset Value. When the Override Target Value check box is checked the point offsets will be ignored and the entered value will be used in place.
-
Add Extra Material Thickness. When enabled this check box will added the entered additional material thickness to the off- set compensation.
