Different Results No Radius vs Subtract radius distance dimension

Hello everyone, not easy to explain this one. I have not had to do this in a long time and I am searching for the right answer.

I was tasked with measuring the relationship between 2 punches (Hole and Polygon) and the matching retainer but the distance between is different when I use No Radius VS Subtract radius. Obviously the numbers will be different because of the radius not being used but when I take the total distance from the Retainer and Subtract the total distance I get from the punches the numbers are different.

For example using No Radius I get 13.07 - 12.732 (0.338mm) and for subtract radius I get 7.307 - 6.666 (0.641mm) between CIR1 & LIN2
& No Radius 13.128 - 12.709 (0.419mm) and for subtract radius I get 7.355 - 6.603(0.752mm) between CIR2 & LIN3

Can someone explain why this is? Should I be using No radius or Subtract Radius to find the relationship between the two features?

I dimensioned 2D distance in the same direction as Lin1 for both. I am not the best at explaining things, forgive me Slight smile

  • The 2D distance between a circle and a line measured parallele to an axis is the distance between centroids projected on the axis.
    it can't be accurate because the centroid of the line depends on where you take hits.
    In addition, the vectors of lines are different in both progs, it can be another problem (repeatability ?)
