In PowerInspect, geometric items are stored in geometric groups. These enable you to organize the inspection sequence, and to keep related items together. The first step in aligning a part to its model is to create a geometric group for the items used in the alignment.
To create a geometric group:
- Click Home tab > Create panel > Group > Geometric Group.
Use the Geometric Group dialog to specify the name of the group; whether the measurements of the items it contains are to be displayed in the CAD view; the default tolerances for items created in the group; and the coordinate system relative to which the measurement results are to be reported.
- Click OK to accept the default settings for the group.
The group is added to the inspection sequence and automatically opened. The Active Group list at the top of the Sequence Tree changes to display the name of the group.
