I'm still new and learning PC-DMIS. I want to learn more about looping and variables as I can see it being an important tool to make programming quicker.
So I have a round part and it has 12 tabs around it every 30 degrees. What I want is for it to loop around the part grabbing a point on the outer tab. After I want to construct a circle (best fit) and output the dia for my report.
How can I go about this?
So the code I have so far is this
V1 =LOOP/START,ID=YES,NUMBER=12,START=1,SKIP=,
OFFSET:XAXIS=0,YAXIS=0,ZAXIS=0,ANGLE=30
OUTER-RAD-TAB_1 =FEAT/CONTACT/VECTOR POINT/DEFAULT,CARTESIAN
THEO/<0,-7.546,-0.15>,<0,-1,0>
ACTL/<0,-7.546,-0.15>,<0,-1,0>
TARG/<0,-7.546,-0.15>,<0,-1,0>
SNAP=NO
SHOW FEATURE PARAMETERS=NO
SHOW CONTACT PARAMETERS=YES
AVOIDANCE MOVE=NO,DISTANCE=0
SHOW HITS=NO
LOOP/END
