Measure a skew and create a datum

Skew and datum operations are described in Chapter 6: Measuring. In this example, the bottom edge of
the part is measured for skew compensation, the left edge is measured and the intersection point of the bot-
tom and left edges is zeroed in the X, Y and Z axes and used as a datum for subsequent measurements.
Measure the skew and left side
and then construct a zero datum
point at the intersection of the
two lines.
Create a zero datum for subsequent measurements

Measure a feature (include a message)

Feature measurements are described in Chapter 6: Measuring. In this example, the largest hole in the QC
Quickie slide is measured.
First, create a message that prompts the user to measure the hole. Press the Finish key to complete the
message.
