Disclaimer
The inuence of the operator on the measuring process is dominant, thus making
him fully responsible for accuracy and safety. While using the Proliner he must
ensure that:
No one is allowed near the cable or the control box while the pen is in use. A
broken cable or dropped pen can cause rapid and unpredictable retraction of
the cable which can severely injure anyone it might contact.
We advise to make control measurements once in a while to ensure accuracy.
The Proliner is a precision measuring machine. Let only trained personnel
work with the Proliner. Do not use the Proliner in areas where there is a lot of
construction work.

3. The remote control
The remote control is used to capture measuring points.
The remote control has four buttons
·
1) Point mode
Press once to capture a single point. When the next point
is captured, the Proliner will automatically record a line
between the measured points.
··
2) Continuous mode
Once pressed, the Proliner will register a section of
points until the button is pressed again. The section
records straight lines and / or radii depending on the
shape of the object.
···
3) End of a contour
This button ends a measured contour.
After closing a contour, you add a new contour by
continuing to measure. You can also create a new layer by
holding button 3. This layer can be named as well.
····
4) Delete the last point or contour
Press button 4 to delete the last measured point.
Holding the button will remove the last measured contour.

TIP: Work with layers
A layer is a collection of points, lines and contours. Hold button 3 to
close a layer and create a new layer. Working with layers can
be very useful for the processing of your drawing.

4.5 Settings:
In this menu you can congure all Proliner measurement settings before starting a measurement.
4. Proliner menu (software)
Projection
In this menu you can congure the 2D projection plane on which your
measurement will be projected.
The number of projection planes: determine whether a
measurement needs projected on a single 2D plane (single plane) or
on multiple 2D planes (multiple plane)
Determine the projection plane to be projected on: choose
horizontal plane, vertical plane, average plane, or choose to measure
the projection plane (rst contour).
Projection plane compensation: here you can congure whether
the 2.5mm thickness of the pen should be compensated on the
projection plane or not. It is most common to use oset plane by
default. Don’t oset plane is only used for particular measurements.
Pen
Choose the type of measuring pen used:
Pointer or scanner.
Contour
Choose whether the contour you measure in the drawing should remain
open or is automatically closed.
Compensation
Congure whether the pen thickness should be compensated or not.
Choose: compensate left, compensate right or no compensation.

ATTENTION!
The Proliner is equipped with customer-specic software and licenses.
Menus may dier between dierent Proliners types.

5. Projection
The Proliner always measures in 3D.
To create a 2D template, the measured 3D points have to be projected on a projection plane.

2D template
The drawing above is an excessive example to help explain what the Proliner software actually does.
Below is a picture of a kitchen countertop. This top looks fairly at, but is uneven in practice, thus 3D.
Therefore, you will always need to determine the 2D projection plane rst.
The determined 2D projection plane used for measuring the countertop is shown in light blue.

The measuring pen captures points from the absolute center of the pen tip.
During a measurement, the object is touched with the outside of the pen tip.
Due to the thickness of the pen tip, there is a dierence of 2.5mm between the object that you are measuring and
what the Proliner pen captures. This can be corrected using the compensation settings beforehand or during
editing afterwards.
Depending on the choise for either left or right compensation, you have to measure in a specic direction. When
choosing none, The measurement results will not be compensated and if needed have to be corrected afterwards
using a CAD progam.

ATTENTION!
If you use a dierent measuring pen type, you have to adjust the
compensation values as well!

There are several measuring pens and add-ons available for dierent
applications.
