Measuring the size of a 3 Sided Polygon

Smasherofprobes
Hello Everyone,

Just a cmm noob with another question. My company needs me to verify thesize of a polygon (3 sides). We do not have a go/no go pin in yet and they are asking for answers. PCDMIS is showing the Polygon to be larger than nominal and they do not believe my results. (Measured as Auto Polygon) Is there a secondary study I can do to prove the size of a polygon without using Auto Feature and in your experience is Auto feature on a polygon reliable when it comes to measuring Diameters. I would assume I need to do some sort of study and measure from the center of the rads to the Middle of the opposing lines and do some sort of Intersecting points. Using PCdmis 2021.1

Thanks in advance to anyone who answers.

  • Profile points could have also discovered that quickly. But what you did works good as well. I like using individual points so I can actually see what the surface is doing. is it straight? Is it tapering? Ect...

    By using separate points or scans you can construct lines or look at individual points or use them in assigns or arrays. I find it easier to start out with points and do constructions of anything I need from the points. Reason being is I have to make reports with maps. If I use a measured line and pull points from the line to make any other constructions, my point map leader lines don't ever look right.
