Line Segment: Select this to use a Line Segment.
Input Name What it is
Input Image Linked Image
Tool Origin The tool’s origin relative to the entire image space
Point The x and y coordinates of the start measurement point
Line The x and y coordinates and angle of the end measurement line
Tolerance If the distance between the point and the line is greater than this value,
the tool will fail. The parameters are minus, nominal, and plus.
Output Name What it is
Distance The measured distance from the input point to the input line.
In Tolerance True if the Distance is within the tolerance range
Distance Error The difference between the Tolerance Nominal and the Distance
Line Segment A line from the start and end points of the distance. The start point of the
line segment will always be the input point.
