I need to measure the profile of the shoulder of a counterbore. It's kind of thin.... 1 mm of land on a 35mm diameter bore. How would I go about drawing a polyline on the bore shoulder, 35.5mm in diameter? I want to use the polyline to scan the profile. I'm a total newbie. Trying to learn how to program.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Thanks for the suggestions. vpt.se, When I choose autoplane, and then pull down the selection for a circle, it seems that just switches the dialogue to the auto measure circle. Wherein, the probe approaches from the center of the bore. I need the probe to approach from a vector parallel to the bore axis.
vpt.se and Jefman, On the measure auto circle dialogue, I did try to setup measurement strategy tab in the lower window by selecting adaptive circle scan, but again I can't get the probe to approach parallel to the pore axis.
I don't know where to select measure "basic scan circle/plane". I would love to see that somewhere. :-)
I played around with the insert scan circle a bit. I think the initvec and cutvec details will be what I need to play with. I am measuring 6 of these features, each of which are located at 60 degree intervals radially about the B datum(X) and the bore axes are at a 3 degree angle from the X Datum and along its radial direction. So I think I will need 6 different sets of these vectors. Probably some way to determine that using pcdmis.
