Measuring part skew and datum
Detailed descriptions of measuring the part skew and datum are provided in Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Measuring ing.
Skew
The part skew must be measured to eliminate errors resulting from part
misalignment. Use
the Buffer probe to
measure the bottom
edge.
Datum
A part datum point must be established as a reference for subsequent measurements. In this example, it
will be constructed at the intersection of the skew line and the vertical line
measured along the left edge of the part.
Use the buffer probe
to measure the left
vertical edge.
Click the Skew Line toolbar button, measure the skew line and click OK to complete the measurement
