Intersection Point Problem Cylinder & Line

Hey guys, I got an odd problem here. Line constructed from scan & intersected with cylinder A on the right side of slot creates intersected (pierced) point no problem. But on the left side of slot no matter what direction of the line pc dmis dumps the pierced point on the on the other side (black arrow) of the cylinder hole. Why is that? One side of slot the point is created without a hitch while on the other side pc dmis won't budge. This is even weirder because measuremind3d & even Keyence let you pick which point you want near or far while Pc Dmis just ain't cooperating. The part is just like the drawing. Thanks.

  • I don't think it would depend on the workplane, but it does depend on the vector of the line. Look closely at the IJK to see if you truly are reversing that direction...or construct a "reverse" line and then pierce the circle/cylinder with that new line.


    Indeed. But I discovered it all depends on the direction of the scan. It must be towards the center of the cylinder to make it work. That way the line vectors point to the center making the intersection (pierce) point possible. Thanks for the help!
