Abstract
A system for measuring a figure of a workpiece includes an application server (2). The application server includes a hardware detecting module (200) for detecting hardware after system activation and for determining whether any error occurs in the hardware. An error prompting module (200) is provided for generating a dialog box to prompt a user to maintain the system. A measuring module (202) is provided for measuring the figure of the workpiece, and for comparing measuring results. A measuring result output module (203) is provided for outputting measuring results in text form. A related method is also provided.

A system for measuring a figure of a workpiece, the system comprising an application server, the application server comprising:
- a hardware detecting module for detecting hardware after system activation, and for determining whether any error occurs in the hardware;
- and
- a measuring module for measuring the figure of the workpiece, the measuring module comprising:
- a measuring information acquiring sub-module for acquiring information of the workpiece, which information includes a serial number of the workpiece;
- a manual execution sub-module for measuring multiple measuring points on the figure according to measurement demands, and for returning coordinates of the measuring points;
- a coordinate system maintenance sub-module for constructing a new coordinate system, and for converting coordinates of the measuring points into coordinates based on the new constructed coordinate system;
- a measuring result comparing sub-module for comparing the coordinates converted of the measuring points with theoretical coordinates and determining whether the converted coordinates exceed a tolerance range, and for acquiring the comparison results;
- and
- an automatic execution sub-module for saving the measuring process and the comparing process as a program, which is invoked for measuring one or more other workpieces having the same serial number and for comparing measuring results automatically.
