METHOD FOR PREPARING MEASUREMENT INFORMATION FOR MULTI-DIMENSIONAL SHAPE MEASURING DEVICE

摘要

PURPOSE: To obtain measurement information easily by preparing measurement route data from inspection drawing data, designating an attitude parameter to determine the attitude of a measuring probe, producing attitude data from the attitude parameter and design shape information, and using the attitude data and route data as measurement information. ;CONSTITUTION: When the shape of an object in inspection drawing data on a display is designated by an operator, the designated drawing data are input to a measurement information preparation section 37 under the control of an I/O controller 27, and measurement route parameters from the measurement points and passing points to be inputted by a keyboard or mouse are combined to create measurement route data. Then, the operator enters an angle between the center axis direction of the shape element and measuring probe as the attitude parameter of the measuring probe, in order to produce the attitude data of the measuring probe and store the data in a storing means 39 together with the route data automatically. By using the two data as measurement information, measurement information for a multi-dimensional shape measuring device can be prepared quickly and accurately.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1996,JPO
