Perpendicular Distress

Flintstone
Good morning,

We are running a global silver machine with PCDMIS 2021 software. Today, we constructed an offset plane using auto feature vector points. We do this all the time. We also measured a cylinder, that is supposed to be perpendicular to the offset plane. When we asked for the perpendicularity of the offset plane to the cylinder in legacy, it told us the perpendicularity was perfect, all zeros. Obviously it wasn't but that's what the reports said. We tried to ask for the perpendicularity of the offset plane to the cylinder in geotol, and the machine wouldn't let us select the offset plane. It would let us select the cylinder, and report perpendicularity to the offset plane. I know, I know, we have done this successfully before. We must have finger fumbled something. Some setting somewhere. Any suggestions?

Thanks

  • Hmm,

    All good ideas, I think I actually already tried the second and the third idea. And... maybe in my frustration, I got loose with the facts. I've made lots of offset planes, but maybe I've never actually asked for perpendicularity of one of those to a cylinder. I'm uncertain now. Maybe we actually can't do that. Seems a shame if that's the case.

    Thanks for your help.
