Pattern Locator Positioning the Pattern Locator Tool Creating the Pattern Model Each Pattern Locator tool can store a single pattern model. This model will be saved when you save the tool. The Pattern Locator searches for the pattern model within the tool region of interest, but does not search for rotated patterns. The pattern model can be created on any image that contains the required pattern. l The pattern model does not have to be created from a pattern that is in the tool region of interest. l The pattern model can be on any image that contains a pattern. l The rotation (orientation) and size of the pattern model affect the success of the pat- tern finding process.
l Creating a pattern "destroys" an existing pattern. l To erase the current pattern and create a new one, click New. l To edit or reposition an existing sample pattern, click Edit. ACEUser's Guide, 3.6.x, 18316-000 Rev A Page 585
