Anchor Creation

Create features by directly anchoring points on the model.

Note

  • The anchor creation method currently is applicable to creating point, line, plane, circle, sphere, cone, cylinder, slot, regular polygon, and rectangle features.
  • Before creating features, please import a reference model or measured model.

Creation Steps

Col

  1. Select Anchor in the drop-down menu of the feature to be created.

  2. According to the instructions in the creation window, click enough points on the model in the 3D scene to create and preview the feature.

    Note

    In preview state, if you need to delete a feature, select the corresponding created feature and use the Del key to delete it.

  3. Click Confirm to complete the creation, and the object will be displayed in the feature module of the left-side tree view.

Extract Measured Values

After creating reference features, the corresponding measured features can be extracted automatically or manually.

Note

Import at least one measured model before extracting measured features to generate feature pairs.

  • Automatic Extraction: Enable Auto Extraction of Measured Values via Settings in the upper right corner of the software interface or check Extract Measured Feature in the creation window. The software will automatically extract the corresponding measured feature with default parameters after creating any reference feature.

    Note

    If there are multiple measurement objects, please select the corresponding extraction object in the creation window; the default selection is the first measured model or the first measured model within the first measurement group.

  • Manual Extraction: After creating a reference feature, right-click the feature group in the tree view on the left, select Extract Measured Feature and specify the measurement model to be extracted; you can specify Align Object in the extraction pop-up window.

Note

When selecting sub-features, 2D features, or when there are only sub-features or 2D features in multiple selections or groups, right-click the feature group in the left tree view and select Extract Measured Feature to directly extract the measured feature without selecting a measured model.
