PRODIM Proliner - 6. Measurement compensation

PRODIM 2017 © Proliner Quick start guide - Training preparation Page 10
The measuring pen captures points from the absolute center of the pen tip.
During a measurement, the object is touched with the outside of the pen tip.
Due to the thickness of the pen tip, there is a dierence of 2.5mm between the object that you are measuring and
what the Proliner pen captures. This can be corrected using the compensation settings beforehand or during
editing afterwards.
Depending on the choise for either left or right compensation, you have to measure in a specic direction. When
choosing none, The measurement results will not be compensated and if needed have to be corrected afterwards
using a CAD progam.
