The Characteristic Manager enables you to set additional information about each item extracted from the file. 

 

You can move between the extracted characteristics using the arrow keys. 

 

•  Move to the first value.

•  Move back one value at a time.

•  Move forward one value at a time.

•  Move to the last value.

 

Using the property manager you can also rotate the extracted value and zoom in and out on the extracted value in the General display window.

 

• Rotate clockwise

• Rotate counter clockwise

• Zoom In

• Zoom Out

 

The associated information for a ballooned characteristics can be changed using the property manager.  When a value is ballooned, the property manager fills out most of the fields in the General section for each dimension type using InspectionXpert's Optical Character Recognition engine. 

 

The property manager allows you to set:

 

•Characteristic Values

•Inspection Methods

•Balloon Position and Look

•Custom Fields

 

The subtype for a dimension is automatically selected for everything but Geometric tolerances. After ballooning a geometric tolerance, you must click the Sub Type down-arrow and click on the correct type.  You can also use selective recapture (reselect a value in the view window and click capture) to capture the numeric value of a geometric tolerance and InspectionXpert will treat it as a limit dimension and add the upper and lower limit information to the property manager fields.   

 

NOTE:  Selective recapture can also be used to recapture or crop a value for any ballooned dimension.
