ToolSkew
VPARAMETER
113
Skew angle of the tool region of interest. The angle of skew is defined as the angle between the Y-axis of an
orthogonal Tool coordinate system and the Y-axis of the skewed Tool coordinate system.
The Edge Locator tool and the Caliper tool search for edges that are parallel to the X axis of the tool.
Skewing allows positioning of the tool to match the inclination of features within an object.
