Initiates an instrument scan inside of a specified perimeter defined by a CAD face or selection of faces. It also provides the ability to designate exclusion zones within a face perimeter such that holes within a face are excluded.

Leica ATS600
When using the Leica ATS600 the scan resolution can be set using a string in the Parameter Set Name [A2] field. Use the Dialog Entry method for more clarity. The following strings can be built and used directly:
Area Scan Specifications:
“inPxx” or “mmPxx” to set point to point spacing only where “xx” defines the resolution
“inPxxGSWxx” or “mmPxxGSWxx” to set point to point distance (P) and Grow/Shrink Width (GSW) For example “mmP10” would deliver a scan with 10mm spacing within the face perimeter.
You can also add “C” or “P” to the end of the string to specify Point Cloud (C) or Point Group (P) as a return.
