Surface Normal Deviation of points in FCF

ok, so here's what i'm trying to do...

i have a profile,

i would like the the surface normal deviation of the points in a table like this


t1 t2 t3 t4
t5 t6 t7 t8

instead of the long table of xyz ijk

i need it from the fcf b/c of the best fitting that has been done

i had tried
ASSIGN/V2 = DOT(SCN1.HIT[1].XYZ-SCN1.HIT[1].TXYZ,SCN1.HIT[1].IJK)


but this doesn't match the fcf deviations as they have been best fit


any ideas?

thanks

  • Josh,



    ...could you post this procedure in the "Tips & Tricks" section?


    The procedure is "make an alignment using the datums in order of precedence."
    I hope that's not classified as a Trick.



    What meant by the t# chart was this.

    pnt1.t pnt2.t pnt3.t pnt4.t pnt5.t
    pnt6.t pnt7.t pnt8.t pnt9.t pnt10.t
    pnt11.t pnt12.t pnt13.t pnt14.t pnt15.t
    etc....


    As pwhitsa said, use PC-DMIS's File I/O functions to write the data to a text/CSV format file.
    A CSV file is a text file with the values separated by commas, you could use spaces to if it suits you.
