Systems and methods are disclosed for automated inspection and part enrollment. In one implementation, a selection of an area of a part is received within a graphical user interface depicting a representation of the part. Based on the selection of the area of the part, a location of the selected area is determined. Image capture parameter(s) are determined based on the determined location. Based on (a) the determined image capture parameters and (b) the location of the selected area, an inspection path is computed with respect to the part. The computed inspection path is executed with respect to the part via an inspection system.

A method for software-based planning of a dimensional measurement of a measurement object includes receiving an input command for selecting at least one measurement element of the measurement object that is to be measured during the measurement. The method includes determining a selection of measurable test features of the at least one selected measurement element. Each of the test features includes a dimensionally measurable measurand of the at least one selected measurement element. The method includes determining a reduced subset of the selection of measurable test features depending on a view currently chosen on a display. The method includes visualizing the test features contained in the reduced subset by generating a graphical representation of each of the test features contained in the reduced subset on the display.
