How to Use Datums To Get Print Dimensions |
|
Sample Print
|
This is a sample print with the design intent of checking the width and the height. You can use the VTube-LASER DATUM feature to get to these dimensions. |
|
MultiScan Measurements
|
MulitScan only measures near the tangents of a straight. (The tangents are the locations on the straights where the straights and bends meet.) |
MTA Measurements
| MTA (Measured Tube Averaging), combined with UniScan measuring, is the the best type of measuring available in VTube-LASER. MTA allows you to measure multiple sides of the same tube, then average the results into a single final tube shape. |
