Part Matching
Gocator can match scanned parts to the edges of a model based on a previously scanned part (see Using
Edge Detection on page 161) or to the dimensions of a fitted bounding box or ellipse that encapsulate
the model (see Using Bounding Box and Ellipse on page 170). When parts match, Gocator can rotate
scans so that they are all oriented in the same way. This allows measurement tools to be applied
consistently to parts, regardless of the orientation of the part you are trying to match.
When the match quality between a model and a part reaches a minimum value (a percentage), or the
bounding box or ellipse that encapsulates the part is between minimum and maximum dimension
values, the part is "accepted" and any measurements that are added in the
Measure page will return
valid values, as long as the target is in range, etc. If the part is "rejected," any measurements added in the
Measure page will return an Invalid value. For more information on measurements and decision values,
Measurement on page 180.
