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

  • ALSO, if these are vector or surface points you are talking about, open the program in OFFLINE mode, then open the F5 menu and mark FIND NOMS ON EXECUTE and run the program (offline, remember!) and it will find the XYZIJK for each point from the nearest cad element. Also, there is a "FIND" button or icon for finding the entire thing (XYZIJK) and not just the vector.

    TURN OFF find noms on execute before going back online to run the program.

    I often forget about that method. The nice thing about doing it that way is that both the theoretical and measured values are updated at the same time. Using the Point Nominal Deviation utility will only update the theoretical values. Not a big deal as it is easy to reset all the measured values to nominal, but it does mean an extra step.
