Inspection Bar Controls

Trapping Vectors and Verification Mode

The Gear / Options icon in the inspection bar opens additional controls for inspection including the Global Trapping Options:

 

Enable Trapping Auto Vectors

Enable Trapping Auto Vectors offers an option to automatically turn on an auto vector group for the GR-Feature that is actively being trapped. It builds a vector group called “Trap Vectors: [Relationship Name]” in the tree and this vector group updates automatically as inspection progresses from one feature to the next.

This vector display can be used both during measurement and during part analysis to visualize deviations between the measure points the fit geometry.

Expectations with Trapping Vectors Enabled:

 

Verification Mode

This option was added to provide greater clarity to the user on the results of a feature inspection. It adds an additional step to the inspection process during which the results can be reviewed before continuing to the next feature.

 

Expectations with Verify Mode Enabled:

 

Vector Display Expectations with both Trapping Vectors and Verify Mode enabled:

Both trapping vectors and the verification mode can be enabled at the same time. If you have a GR-Feature as the target you will then see the fit (AVF) vectors during measurement and then it will switch to display the point to nominal deviations AVN during the verification step.

Note- that in 2024.2, trapping vector display is not yet available for GD&T feature check inspection. In addition no vectors will be displayed when Point Sets, Clouds or Nominal Geometry are associated.
