Paste with Pattern and compare with CAD

MaLux
hello Slight smile

I need to compare ring gauges with the cad data and only have the drawings of the parts.
i set some vectorpoints and paste a pattern with dimensions from the drawing.

how can i snap the points on the cad model and take the nominals, they are not exact the final part nominals

i´ve used "find vector" to get them right if something looked incorrect
is there "find nearest cad element" in r2017 and is it what i am looking for ?
can i apply it to multiple vectorpoints without opening the auto feature dialog for each one ?

thanks in advance Slight smile

  • There is a feature for that. Go to Edit -> Graphic Display Window -> Point Nominal Deviation. That will open a utility that will evaluate all the vector points in your program and check the distance to the nearest CAD element. If any points are outside of the deviation cuttoff value you provide, they will show up in the list. You can then have the utility automatically update the points in the program.

    This is really helpful for updating programs after getting a new model or for checking that a part is actually symmetrical/consistent after doing a paste with pattern operation. There are lots of other cool uses too, but I'll let you search the forum for some of those.

    S is for the SAMPLE HIT(s) for things like edge points, holes, slots that use them.

    BE WARNED, using sample hit(s) for edge points is NOT always a good idea and can give you bad data for both the "S" and "T" values. Unless the surface is a flat (I didn't say square, but it MUST be flat!), you will get bad data/hits using a surface sample hit with an edge point.
