Autofeature line screwing me up_Anyone else see this?

Using PC DMIS 2022.1. (Issue started for me with this version of PC DMIS. Was not a problem with previous versions)

I have a lot of turned parts where an arc intersects with a flat plane & I have to report the diameter of where it breaks out. To do this, I intersect an "autofeature line" with an "autofeature circle" to get an intersection point. Do it in 6 places. Construct the 6 points together to get a circle. (Yes I have an alignment that recalls startup with all 6DOF properly constrained and yes I am using correct workplanes while measuring & constructing). I have done this for years and it has always worked. Slight smile

When I do this in 2022, PC DMIS complains about a math error and it won't do the construction. Disappointed

To get around this, I have to delete the autofeature lines & replace the lines with autofeature points and then construct a line through the pnts and then use THAT to create the intersections in each place. Alien

Is pretty annoying..is causing me to change programs that have been "Validated" for years. Is anyone else having issues using "autofeature line" ??Frog

  • Did something maybe get jacked up with the direction of the line that the intersection failed? What happens if you create a line out the .HIT of the autofeature line?


    When the lines were auto features, the vectors were correct..definitely made sure of that Disappointed Thanks for the suggestion...your suggestion is to create a line...I had to create a line (just a different kind..you suggest HIT values and I used pnts) in order for it to work instead of being able to use the autofeature directly
