Introduction

From version 3.6 are present some "Non-Dmis" commands that allow to perform automatic measurement of features following a geometrical path instead being driven by regular PTMEAS/ commands.
The features whom those news cycles applies are:

• Circle
• Cylinder
• Planes

Activating the cycles

The automatic cycles can be set and activated by the measuring panel.
Opening one of the available features, a new icon is present, and this will show a dialog to define the different cycles.

  Parameters for Auto Cycle

Circle and Cylinders

For circles and cylinders features are available the following new automatic cycles:

Cycle Name	Description	Image
Pattern Helical Partial	Distributes the points according an helical path over 360° per round. The requested parameter are: Pitch of the helix Number of Sections to the measured Starting Angle of the Helix (Based on Working Plane)
Pattern Helical Partial	Distributes the points according a portion of an helical path over the specified angle spam. The requested parameter are: Pitch of the helix Starting Angle of the Helix (Based on Working Plane) Angle to be covered by the points distribution Number of Sections to the measured
Pattern Section Full	Distributes the points on parallel sections over 360°. The requested parameter are: Distance between sections Number of Sections to the measured Starting Angle of the first point (Based on Working Plane)
Pattern Section Partial	Distributes the points on parallel sections over the specified angle spam. The requested parameter are: Distance between sections Number of Sections to the measured Starting Angle of the first point (Based on Working Plane) Angle to be covered by the points distribution
Pattern Section Optimized	Distributes the points in the specified distance along the feature axis on parallel sections over the specified angle spam. The requested parameter are: Starting Angle of the first point (Based on Working Plane) Angle to be covered by the points distribution Lenght to be covered
Feature Bounded Section Full	The requested parameter are: Pitch of the helix Number of Sections to the measured Starting Angle of the Helix (Based on Working Plane)
Feature Bounded Section Partial	The requested parameter are: Pitch of the helix Number of Sections to the measured Starting Angle of the Helix (Based on Working Plane)
Feature Bounded Section Optimized	The requested parameter are: Pitch of the helix Number of Sections to the measured Starting Angle of the Helix (Based on Working Plane)
Feature Bounded Helical Full	The requested parameter are: Pitch of the helix Number of Sections to the measured Starting Angle of the Helix (Based on Working Plane)
Feature Bounded Helical Partial	The requested parameter are: Pitch of the helix Number of Sections to the measured Starting Angle of the Helix (Based on Working Plane)
