Single Point Cycles

The Single Point X, Y and Z cycles are defined with the following parameters:

Approach/Retract

• The Distance value defines the Probe tool position before or after performing the measurement cycle.
• The direction button enables you to define the direction of the tool path relative to the plane.

Levels

• The Z Level value defines the Z-coordinate of the contact point. The selection button enables you to select the point directly on the model by using the Pick on plane dialog box.

Modify geometry

• The Offset value defines an additional distance from the contact points in the same direction as the approach/retract distance.

Rotation angle (available for X and Y only)

• This field enables you to set the angle the tool approaches the plane with.
• The arrow button enables you to select the plane the angle relates to.

Repetitive touches

• This field enables you to define the number of touches in each contact point.
