Parameters
Anchor Description
X, Y, or Z Lets you choose the X, Y, or Z measurement of another tool
to use as a positional anchor for this tool.
Anchoring
A measurement must be enabled in the other tool for it to be available as an anchor. The anchor
measurement should also be properly configured before using it as an anchor.
For more information on anchoring, see Measurement Anchoring on page 194.
Position
The Position tool reports the X, Y, or Z position of a part. The feature type must be specified and is one
of the following: Average (the mean X, Y, and Z of the data points), Median (median X, Y, and Z of the
data points), Centroid (the centroid of the data considered as a volume with respect to the z = 0 plane),
Min X, Max X, Min Y, Max Y, Min Z, or Max Z.
Gocator compares the measurement value with the values in Min and Max to yield a decision. For more
information on decisions, see Decisions on page 191.
See Adding and Configuring a Measurement Tool on page 182 for instructions on how to add
measurement tools.
