Description of the "Evaluation" View
G Results display: The measurement results of the currently selected measuring program are dis-
played. Here, you can select which measured values are to be made available later for calcula-
tion, OK/nOK assessment, logging and output (see Chapter 3.16.8).
H Status bar: Status and error messages are displayed in the status bar (see Chapter 8.1).
1 Projection type: Select the type of projection to be carried out:
-
Calculating a point by means of orthogonal projection onto a plane
-
Calculating a point by means of orthogonal projection onto a straight line
The following lists the measuring programs available for the respective input objects:
-
Point:
 Point: The relevant point is used for the calculation of the perpendicular point. The follow-
ing measuring programs produce points:
 "Center of Gravity" measuring program (see Chap. 6.1.1)
 "Extreme Point" measuring program (see Chap. 6.1.2)
 "Plane Fit" measuring program (see Chap. 6.1.3)
 "Object Intersection" measuring program (see Chap. 6.2.3)
 "Perpendicular Point" measuring program (see Chap. 6.2.4)
 Sphere: The center point of the sphere is used for the calculation of the perpendicular
point. The following measuring program produces a sphere:
 "Sphere Fit" measuring program (see Chap. 6.1.4)

Circle: The center point of the circle is used for the calculation of the perpendicular point.
The following measuring programs produce circles:
 "Circular Hole" measuring program (see Chap. 6.1.6)
 "Circular Pad" measuring program (see Chap. 6.1.7)
-
Plane:
 Plane: The relevant plane is used for the calculation of the perpendicular point. The fol-
lowing measuring program produces a plane:
 "Plane Fit" measuring program (see Chap. 6.1.3)
-
Straight line:
 Straight line: The relevant straight line is used for the calculation of the perpendicular
point. The following measuring programs produce straight lines:
 "Object Intersection" measuring program (see Chap. 6.2.3)
 "Edge" measuring program (see Chap. 6.1.9)
 Cylinder: The longitudinal axis of the cylinder is used for the calculation of the perpendic-
ular point. The following measuring program produces a cylinder:
 "Cylinder Fit" measuring program (see Chap. 6.1.5)
2 Input data: Use this selection field to select the input objects for the program (see also Chap.
3.16.3). The list of available objects varies depending on the type of projection.
3 3D-View: The 3D-View displays the input objects (yellow) and the projected point (orange).
