Setting Up the Angle Measurement Tool

Once the tool has been added, you will need to define the input features that will be measured.

  1. 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).
  2. 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.
  3. Next, select the second feature.
  4. 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).
  5. With the tool initially configured, load several images and adjust the tool's parameters, as needed, to compensate for your expected ranges of variations.
  6. Finally, if desired, use the tool's Input/Output properties to share tool data between other tools and/or other external devices.
