Probing a line
The same basic technique is used to probe a line whether the line is completely within or outside the field
of view. To probe a line using the multiple edge probe:
1 Select the Line feature measurement, and then select the multiple edge probe.
2 Seed the multiple edge
probe at the two extreme ends
of the line. The green arrow
and red circle will be present-
ed.
3 Move the stage to place the
green arrow inside the red circle.
The remaining line points will be
probed at roughly regular inter-
vals along the line, the measure-
ment will be completed and the
feature data will be stored in the
feature list.
4 The feature and probed points can be reviewed in detail by touching the View button if desired.
