    Trim/Hemming Edge Measurement

    This function can be used to measure the trim edges or hemming edges of sheet metal parts.

    Note

    Before using this function, you need to import the reference model and measurement model, and create surface features.

    1. In the measurement toolbar, click Trim/Hemming Edge Measurement to open the corresponding window.
    2. Select the detection method as Trim Edge or Hemming Edge.
    3. Select the reference model, measurement model, and measurement surface.

    4. Edit the parameters.

      Parameter Value Range
      Sampling Spacing 0 < x ≤ 10000
      Probe Width 1 ~ 100
      Probe Height 1 ~ 100
      Upper Tolerance /
      Lower Tolerance /

    5. Click Apply to draw the trim/hemming line on the selected surface feature in the scene.

    6. Left-click on the drawn trim/hemming line to generate trim/hemming measurement points.

      Note

      • Left-click to generate trim/hemming measurement points.
      • After left-clicking to generate trim/hemming measurement points, press Del to delete the generated measurement points.

    7. Click Confirm to complete the detection, and the measurement item will be displayed in the measurement module in the left directory tree.
