To apply an offset to dynamic points

Offsets enable you to apply compensation to nominal points when the part does not match the CAD model. For example, you can use them to measure a part that has a coating not included in the model, or to measure a part that is unfinished.

To apply an offset to dynamic points:

  1. Click Home tab > Mouse Context panel > Dynamic Points Editor. The Dynamic Points context tab is displayed.
  2. Select the points to which you want to apply the offset.
  3. Click Dynamic Points tab > Edit panel > Apply Offset.
  4. Enter the Offset and click OK. The offset is displayed next to the point labels. For example:

Note: To remove an offset, select the point and apply an Offset of 0.
