Measurement Illustration
X
Determines the X position of the center of the bounding
box that contains the profile.
The value returned is relative to the profile.
Z
Determines the Z position of the center of the bounding
box that contains the profile.
The value returned is relative to the profile.
Width
Determines the width of the bounding box that contains
the profile. The width reports the dimension of the box in
the direction of the minor axis.
Height
Determines the height (thickness) of the bounding box that
contains the profile.
Global X
*
Determines the X position of the center of the bounding
box that contains the profile relative to the surface from
which the profile is extracted.
Global Y
*
Determines the Yposition of the center of the bounding
box that contains the profile relative to the surface from
which the profile is extracted.
Global Angle
*
Determines the angle around Zof the section used to create
the profile, relative to the surface from which it is extracted,
where a line parallel to the X axis is 0 degrees.
Angles of sections pointing to the bottom of the data viewer
are positive.
Angles of sections pointing to the top of the data viewer are
negative.
Measurements
*The Global X, Global Y, and Global Angle measurements are intended to be used with profiles
extracted from a surface using a section.
