Create polyline circle and scan

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, I'll need to do the appropriate trig for each of these but I think I can figure it out based on your description. X does go from right to left, but z rotates from 30 degrees in 60 degree increments. I might just suck it up and just drop the hits manually to get a profile. As you can see this particular tolerance is very forgiving. BTW, is there a way to go back and edit a post. I might like to remove the graphics.
