Hello Jorge,

PT,RE\SP,1\UP,1\DF\SA,1
Would be the same thing as having the operator place the stylus in the hole and translate to it. In DMIS the command would be:

TEXT/OPER, 'Place the stylus in the center of the hole'
F(STARTPT) = FEAT/POINT, CART, 0, 0, 0, 0.0000, 0.0000, 1.0000
MEAS/POINT, F(STARTPT), 0
ENDMES
D(CS) = TRANS/XORIG, FA(STARTPT), YORIG, FA(STARTPT), ZORIG, FA(STARTPT)

Notice that zero point features found on the measurement statement, therefore the system will measure a point in space depending on where the stylus is at that moment.
