Measuring from a center point to a radius

Hi!
Im quite new to CMM and PC DMIS, I have a part that has a measurment from one radius of a cylinder to the center point of a circle. I cant manage to get the right dimension, is there a checkbox or something I am missing?

Thanks

    Hi Lime192, you made need to give a little more information to get an answer on this. A picture of some sort may help.

    My best guess from what you gave us, I think you may want to try constructing a "Cast" point from your circle. That will put a point right in the middle of the circle. Then you can report the distance between the cast point and the cylinder and select the "add radius" or "subtract radius" option under "Circle Options". There isn't an option to add/subtract the radius from just one of the features, so sometimes you need to construct a separate feature as a workaround.

    If that has nothing to do with your question, please give a little more detail about your problem.
  • No this is not the case. I have played around with these but needed to remove only one of the radii. Not both!
    But thanks anyway!
  • Ahh yes, offcourse! Thank you!
    Had not even crossed my mind..
