Methods for automatically generating a common measurement across multiple assembly units

摘要

A method includes: displaying a first image of a first assembly unit within a user interface; locating a first virtual origin at a first feature on the first assembly unit; displaying a first subregion of the first image within the user interface responsive to a change in a view window of the first image; recording a geometry and a position of the first subregion relative to the first virtual origin; locating a second virtual origin at a second feature—analogous to the first feature—on a second assembly unit represented in the second image; projecting the geometry and the position of the first subregion onto the second image according to the second virtual origin to define a second subregion of the second image; and, in response to receipt of a command to advance from the first image to the second image, displaying the second subregion within the user interface.
