Specifies to use the fitted edgels of the measured feature's metrology region. The fitted edgels are those active edgels used by the fit operation to define a measured feature.

![]() ![]() |
Sets the approximate portion of the feature that must be covered by fitted edgels. In the following example, about 50.0% of the segment feature covers the edgels. ![]() The actual coverage that results from this setting depends on the scale of the image at which the feature edges were extracted, as specified with M_EXTRACTION_SCALE; a scale of 1 provides the best estimation. M_FIT_COVERAGE_MIN is valid for all fit operations for physically measured or constructed features. For constructed features using a fit operation performed on multiple physically measured edgel features, the accuracy of the minimum fit coverage is based on the average of each feature's extraction scale. This setting can alter the precision of the edge that is ultimately fit; however, it might not reliably discard outliers (outlier pixels/points) when they significantly impact the initial fit (the first iteration of the fit). When dealing with a lot of outliers, use a robust best fit (M_ROBUST_FIT). INQ (summarize)Sets the approximate portion of the feature that must be covered by fitted edgels. INQ (more details...) |

MIL then eliminates any potential group, if it does not have the minimum number of edgels, which you can set with M_GROUP_MIN_NUMBER_OF_EDGELS (by default, there is no minimum requirement).

The following ControlType and corresponding ControlValue parameter settings are used to control the geometric tolerances calculated for a metrology context. For controlling geometric tolerances, the LabelOrIndex parameter can be set to M_ALL_TOLERANCES or an existing tolerance label or index using M_TOLERANCE_LABEL() or M_TOLERANCE_INDEX(). The MetId parameter must be set to a metrology context. Unless otherwise specified, the following settings apply to any geometric tolerance (MmetAddTolerance()).

Sets the reference frame that determines the side of the curve on which to validate the area, when you specify an M_AREA_BETWEEN_CURVES tolerance, and enable the M_AREA_BETWEEN_CURVES_ONE_SIDE_ONLY setting. M_AREA_BETWEEN_CURVES_DEFINE_SIDE is typically used if the two specified curves (edgel features) that the M_AREA_BETWEEN_CURVES tolerance validates cross over each other, causing areas on both sides of the curves. In this case, when enabling M_AREA_BETWEEN_CURVES_ONE_SIDE_ONLY, MIL must establish the side on which the area is considered positive, and must add the areas on that side only. Areas on the other side (which is considered the negative side) are ignored. The positive and negative sides are determined by whether the Y-axis of the reference frame (by default, the global frame) initially intersects with either the first or second curve that is specified with the M_AREA_BETWEEN_CURVES tolerance. If the Y-axis initially intersects with the first specified curve, all the areas on that side of the first curve are considered positive and MIL adds them; all the areas on the other side of the first curve are considered negative and MIL ignores them. If the Y-axis initially intersects with the second specified curve, all the areas on that side of the second curve are considered negative and MIL ignores them; all the areas on the other side of the second curve are considered positive and MIL adds them. ![]() Note that both the reference frame, and the order in which you specify the two curves with M_AREA_BETWEEN_CURVES, determine the side on which to validate the tolerance.

To enable M_AREA_BETWEEN_CURVES_ONE_SIDE_ONLY, you must disable M_AREA_BETWEEN_CURVES_OPPOSITES_SUBTRACT (it is disabled by default). When enabling M_AREA_BETWEEN_CURVES_ONE_SIDE_ONLY, MIL must establish the side on which the area is considered positive, and must add the areas on that side only. Areas on the other side (which is considered the negative side) are ignored. By default, the positive and negative sides are determined by whether the global reference frame's Y-axis initially intersects with either the first or second curve that is specified with the M_AREA_BETWEEN_CURVES tolerance. To determine the positive and negative sides by using a reference frame other than the global frame, use M_AREA_BETWEEN_CURVES_DEFINE_SIDE.

Specifies the index of a reference frame feature (local frame). The reference frame indicates the direction of the curves, and is used to sort the edgels accordingly. That is, M_AREA_BETWEEN_CURVES assumes the direction of the curves' edgels is relative to the reference frame's X-axis. Specifying a direction can make the tolerance faster to calculate, and less sensitive to gaps between edgels. When you set M_CURVE_INFO to a reference frame, M_AREA_BETWEEN_CURVES assumes that the curves are unbounded (open), as edgel direction does not apply to bounded (closed) curves.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() ![]() |
Specifies that the M_AREA_BETWEEN_CURVES tolerance is validating bounded (closed) curves (edgel features). This setting is typically used when you want to validate closed curves that pass through all the edgels. Such curves should not cross over themselves and must form only one closed shape (for example, the curve cannot form a figure 8, which can be seen as two circular shapes). With this setting, the tolerance does not assume that the curves follow a specific direction (since the shape is closed, direction does not apply). Such curves should have edgels with very minimal gaps between them. If the curves (edgel features) that you specified were externally established with sequential edgels (M_EDGEL_PROVIDED_ORDER set to M_SEQUENTIAL), MIL maintains the order of the edgels, which can make calculations faster and more accurate (provided that the specified edgel order forms a properly closed curve). (summarize)Specifies that the M_AREA_BETWEEN_CURVES tolerance is validating bounded (closed) curves (edgel features). (more details...) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() ![]() |
Specifies that the M_AREA_BETWEEN_CURVES tolerance is validating unbounded (opened) curves (edgel features). This setting is typically used when you want to validate opened curves that pass through all the edgels. Such curves should not cross over themselves and must form one fully opened shape (for example, the curve cannot form the number 6, which can be seen as touching and partially closed). With this setting, the tolerance does not assume that the curves follow a specific direction. Such curves should have edgels with very minimal gaps between them. To make the tolerance less sensitive to gaps (and potentially faster to calculate), specify a direction for the curve, by setting M_CURVE_INFO to a reference frame. If the curves (edgel features) that you specified were externally established with sequential edgels (M_EDGEL_PROVIDED_ORDER set to M_SEQUENTIAL), MIL maintains the order of the edgels, which can make calculations faster and more accurate (provided that the specified edgel order forms a properly opened curve).

Sets the maximum acceptable value for the geometric tolerance MIL uses to validate the feature or the relationship between multiple features. For example, if you use a length tolerance to validate the linear dimension of a segment feature, and you set M_VALUE_MAX to 100 pixels, the feature (and the tolerance itself) can only be valid if the segment's length is less than 100 pixels. Similarly, if you are using a perpendicularity tolerance to validate the relationship between two segment features, and you set M_VALUE_MAX to 0.05°, the features (and the tolerance itself) can only be valid if the angle between the segments is between 90.0° and 90.05°. To get the status (M_PASS, M_WARNING, or M_FAIL) of the feature or the geometric tolerance itself, use MmetGetResult() with M_STATUS. Features can only have a passing status if their geometric tolerance has a passing status. MIL determines the status of geometric tolerances according to the M_VALUE_MAX, M_VALUE_MIN, M_VALUE_WARNING_MAX, and M_VALUE_WARNING_MIN settings.
