Edge
The Edge tool fits a line to a straight edge in the scan data, using either height map or intensity data. The
tool's settings help fit the line when multiple potential edges are in the region of interest. After the tool
locates an edge, the position (X, Y, and Z) of the center of the edge line in the region of interest, as well as
its angle around the Z axis and the step height between the upper and lower surfaces adjacent to the
edge, can be returned as measurements.
You can use the Z Angle measurement of the edge line with some tools to perform angle anchoring,
compensating for minor part rotations around the Z axis, greatly increasing repeatability between part
scans; for more information see Measurement Anchoring on page 211.
The tool can also generate edge line and center point geometric features that Feature tools can take as
input for measurement. For more information on Feature tools, see Feature Measurement on page 408.
