Hello All,
I have a cylindrical part that has 6 identical milled pockets clocked 60 degrees along the length of the part. Three pockets (making one set) is milled 6" from the end of the part 120 degrees apart at (12/4/8 o'clock). Another three pockets are milled 30 degrees and 7" away from the first set of pockets (2/6/10 o'clock). I was wondering if I can measure the milled pocket at 12 o'clock (PCKT#1) and then create an alignment (A1) which I can somehow copy and paste to measure the other pockets. I created a new alignment from A1 where I rotated it 30 degrees about y-axis and translated it 7" along the y-axis to create A2. To shorten the amount to of time to write the program to measure the 6 pockets, I thought that I could create A2 and then just copy and paste the measurements from A1 and the coordinates would automatically change for me to account for the 30 degree rotation and 7" translation of the new pocket (A2). If it had worked, I could just do the needed alignment rotation and translation and copy and paste of the measured features for the rest of the program, but it did not work. I was successful in creating my alignments I needed, but when it came to copy and pasting the measurements, I would just end up measuring the initial features at A1. I was hoping that after creating my new alignment(s), I could copy and paste the measurements and the coordinates would assume the new alignment. I tried also using paste with pattern, but that did not work either. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you...
