  Definition
  Under normal operations Geomet maintains the active stylus through the use of the Set Active method.  The Set Active always adds a Stylus Change record to the inspection program database unless there is a feature being measured and part data points have been collected.

An uncommon occurance may happen where the stylus currently being used is not the active stylus Geomet "thinks" it is using. This can happen as a result of abnormal Windows behavior or program inspection runs being aborted.

To force an update the the active stylus, the Force Assign tool has been created.
  Procedure
 
Force Assign

Highlight the stylus designated as the active stylus. Press the <Force Assign> button.

Geomnet will set this stylus as the active stylus, but will not place a stylus change record in the inspection program.
