Setting Up the Angle Measurement Tool
Once the tool has been added, you will need to define the input features that will be measured.
- After adding the tool, EasyBuilder will examine your image and give you a selection of Smart Features that it has automatically detected (highlighted in cyan), as well as any features that you have previously defined with another tool (highlighted in green).
- First select one feature from the available features by clicking on it, at which point its color will change to magenta and a line will extend out from that feature.
- Next, select the second feature.
- After the second feature has been selected, EasyBuilder will automatically calculate the angle between the features, and draw a graphic in the image indicating where the two edges intersect and the angle is being measured. EasyBuilder will also insert an Edge Presence/Absence Tool and/or Circle Presence/Absence Tool for any features that were not previously defined (depending upon the tool and the type of feature).
- With the tool initially configured, load several images and adjust the tool's parameters, as needed, to compensate for your expected ranges of variations.
- Finally, if desired, use the tool's Input/Output properties to share tool data between other tools and/or other external devices.
