Skewing the Part
Accurate measurements require the part to be perfectly aligned on the coordi-
nate measuring system. An imperfectly aligned part yields inaccurate measure-
ments. Use the skew function to convert machine coordinates to part coordi-
nates and compensate for part misalignment. Perform a skew each time a new
part is mounted on the measuring system.
Measure a skew line by probing a straight edge of known orientation. Use a
minimum of 2 points and a maximum of 100 when probing the line. Use more
points for greater accuracy.
