Fit Geometry     

The Fit Geometry Tool allows you to fit geometry based on edges. Click on the Fit Geometry Tool and then pick a point on your image.  Pick another point and the system will fit the geometry between the points (this could be a line or circle).  As you continue to pick points, it will best fit the geometry related to those points.
A right click revokes this tool.

The Edge Snap assists the user in finding edges. epending on how the parameters are set, the snap tool will "snap" or find the nearest edge to where the user dropped and clicked the point.




To set the type of geometry the system will fit, right-click on the Fit >button to bring up the following menu:

  1. Click the Fit button.

  3. If you wish, you can take a calibrated measurement of the diameter. Click the Distance (between geometries) button; the cursor changes to a hand symbol.
  4. Click anywhere on the selected diameter; the diameter is calculated and displayed as in the example below:
