The Locate Tool can output position information, angle information, and judgment results according to the operation mode. The following information can be output.
Status: True/False status of the tool.
Edge Angle: Angle information of the edge line. (-180.0 to +180.0)
Edge point 1: the center point of the measured edge point and the slope of the edge line. (x, y, angle)
Edge Line 1: Coefficients of the equation of the measured approximate line. (A, B, C)
In Edit mode, the tool will display the status and the edge point and angle and it allows you to link outputs to tags within the software's Global Data Service (GDS). Refer to Link Menus for details.
In the image, an ‘X’ will be drawn everywhere an edge point is found, and the edge line will also be drawn:
Precautions for Correct Use: Position information is normally output in pixel units, but values converted to world coordinates are output during calibration.
