Abstract: This disclosure describes determining a measurement strategy for a coordinate measuring machine based on rule evaluation. A measurement rule set includes rules, each with one or more test criteria used to assess whether a rule applies to a test element associated with a geometric feature of a measurement object. A test element is determined and automatically evaluated against at least one rule to identify an applicable rule. When an applicable rule is found, a measurement strategy is generated by adding the rule to a new strategy or by modifying a rule in an existing strategy for the test element. When no rule applies, a new rule is derived from the rule set and added to a new strategy, the new rule defining parameters for measuring the test element. The coordinate measuring machine is then controlled to measure the object using the generated strategy.

Abstract: A method for determining a measurement strategy for measuring a measurement object includes determining a test element of the measurement object. There is an automated test for the test element as to whether there is an applicable measurement rule in a measurement rule set of measurement rules defined in advance. An applicable measurement rule is added to a new measurement strategy or the test element-specific measurement rule of an existing measurement strategy is altered based on an applicable measurement rule. The measurement rules of the measurement rule set are determined by virtue of a measurement rule and at least one test criterion in respect of the applicability thereof being set for a test element by a user or in (partly) automated fashion. The measurement rule defines at least one parameter for measuring the test element.
