Measurement Illustration
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.
*The Global X, Global Y, and Global Angle measurements are intended to be used with profiles
extracted from a surface using a section.
When used with profiles not generated from a section, the Global X measurement returns the
same value as the X measurement, and the Global Yand Global Angle measurements return
0.000.
Type Description
Center Point
The center point of the bounding box.
