What do the compensation icons mean in RevWorks?
The compensation indicator shows the compensation status of the current action. Compensation applies to certain features when using a ball-tipped probe. Compensation is available when collecting 2D sketch features, most planes, and those measurements which are compensated because the offset direction can be calculated. Compensation is unavailable for 3D features, unsupported plans and measurements, when a point probe is being used, and any time Mouse points is being applied.
