Hello everyone. I am having trouble trying to dimension to the midpoint of this radius callout, rather than the center. In the drawing, shown below, there is the .244 dimension from the centerline of the 45° BSC angle to the midpoint of the radius. I have adjusted my alignment to fit the 45° BSC angle and have measured a line on the 40° surface, measured the radius as vector points and a constructed circle, and have made a cast point to the cylinder (the origin). I have tried making a pierce point from the line, to the origin (cast point), to the circle (.100 radius) but it is not exactly at nominal. Is there a way to properly inspect this dimension?
It looks like the dimension is to the intersection point of the 40° angled cut and the OD of the part. i.e. if the .100 radius wasn't there and the corner was sharp, it would be to that point. Try intersecting the 40° line with the OD of the part (just make sure your line is pointed the right direction or it will intersect the other side of the circle).
Hi Mike! Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately it is not that easy, as the dimension is to the midpoint of the arc of the radius. I know that in a Solidworks CAD file you are able to select the midpoint and dimension it accordingly, but I am not sure how to measure this in PCDMIS.
