Memo

If registration with the selected basis element fails for any elements, a new basis element will be selected au- tomatically from the elements whose relative positions are known.

If 50% or more of the element data overlap or if ele- ments are angled at less than approximately 60 degrees, initial registration may be satisfactory. (However, it may still fail depending on the shape of the elements.)
