LOCATOR EXAMPLES
Creating a Locator requires one or two tools that create active points. While there are several
tools that can create active points, some do not make good choices for the Locator anchors.
Match Tool
The Match tool is a great choice, because it has a search box. You can adjust the search area to
compensate for movement of the part. You can change the Match tool properties to look for edges
only or all pixel intensities. You can also change the rotation limits of the Match tool.
1. Click on the Match tool and draw a rectangle around a feature in the Image.
2. Adjust the search area to compensate for the largest expected movement of the part.
First Match Tool
3. Right-click to open the match tool Properties. Beside “Show points” select “center”.
4. Create a second Match tool in the image area. Adjust the search area for the largest expected
movement of the part.
5. Right-click to open the match tool Properties. Beside “Show points” select “center”.
Second Match Tool
6. Click the Locator button. In the Configuration and Status panel, select Position anchor.
Click on the center point of the first Match tool (MS1). A cross hair appears on the point.
