Stud
The Stud tool measures the location and radius of a
stud.
The Stud tool does not search for or detect
a stud. The tool expects that a stud
conforming reasonably well to the defined
parameters is present and that it is on a
sufficiently uniform background.
The tool uses a complex feature-locating algorithm to
find a hold and then return measurements. See "Stud
Algorithm" in the Gocator Measurement Tool Technical
Manual for a detailed explanation of the algorithm. The
behavior of the algorithm can be adjusted by changing
the parameters in the measurement panel.
The location of the stud is defined at either the stud tip
or the stud base. The tip is the intersection of the stud
axis and the top of the stud; the base is the intersection
of the stud axis and the surrounding plane.
The stud shape is defined by the tip height and base
height. The base and tip heights specify where the shaft
with the nominal radius begins and ends.
