All instances of the Track tool share the same path file set in File (ending in .user). For this
reason, you must be careful when editing or removing path files shared by another instance of
the tool.
For information on adding, managing, and removing tools and measurements, as well as detailed
descriptions of settings common to most tools, see Tools Panel on page 198.
Key Concepts
The following are important concepts for using both the track editor (see Using the TrackEditor on page
386) and the Track tool itself:
Track:The material being measured, for example glue or sealant. The material can sit on a flat area on
the target, or sit in a groove where the material touches one or both sides.
Path:The ideal centerline of the track. You define the path in the track editor. You can define more than
one path for use on scanned targets, but the Track tool returns the combined results for all paths. For
more information on the track editor, see Using the TrackEditor on page 386.
Ruler:A ruler is one of the areas perpendicular to the path you define. You define the size and spacing
of the rulers in the track editor. The Track tool extracts a profile from the surface data beneath a ruler
and performs internal measurements based on the values you choose in the Track tool's parameters.
Ruler profiles:The profiles extracted from the surface data under a ruler. The tool's internal
measurements, which are configured using the tool's settings, are applied to these profiles.
Segment:One portion of the path, between points created by clicking on an image of scan data in the
track editor. You can choose to configure rulers in segments independently, or choose to configure them
in a batch mode.
