Further information pertaining to the inspection features has to be built up based on planning methodologies
for setup planning, PCS selection, and surface data points extraction based on the number of sampling points
and accessibility analysis of the probe.
This example shows an approach of extracting information from a product model for computer-aided
measurement and organizing this information into inspection features. The inspection features will form
the basic building blocks which will help to facilitate the generation of the CMM part program.
