ToolSkew ToolSkew VPARAMETER 113 Skew angle of the tool region of interest. The angle of skew is defined as the angle between the Y-axis of an orthogonal Tool coordinate system and the Y-axis of the skewed Tool coordinate system. The Edge Locator tool and the Caliper tool search for edges that are parallel to the X-axis of the tool. Skewing allows positioning of the tool to match the inclination of features within an object.
