Build Commands
What is a Build Command?
Build Commands are also known as
constructions
. A construction allows you to create or
build features that cannot be directly measured. For example, sometimes points or other
features are specified on a drawing but do not actually exist on the part, such as the
intersection of two lines where the corner has a fillet or radius.
There are several types of build commands in FARO Gage, such as:
1
Point: Two Edges - Intersection of two lines.
2
Circle: Best-fit - Bolt circle diameters.
Review the constructions to evaluate which commands can be applied to a measurement task.
N
OTE
:
Gage software will automatically add the prefix "C_" to all dimensions, alignments
and built features to indicate that these are constructed features.
