Subroutine Circle Construction Errors

acgarcia
I created a main program to run 3 subroutines. I am constructing circles using 2 auto circles, then construct a scan, then update the scan to hits cir1.hit[1..cir1.numhits],cir2.hit[1..cir2.numhits] method. Finally constructing a circle out of the scan and dimension. The problem is the construction is failing when I run my main program. It works fine when I run the sub routine as a stand alone program but it gives me an construction error when I run this through main program as a subroutine.

  • I did a test where I used the "to points" method and then constructed a circle from all the points and it worked. I like using auto circles because I can then adjust the number of points and the spread is always even BUT I guess I just need to do whatever works. Unless someone has something that I can try?
  • Hello,

    this works for me =

    I made the construct circle from 2D and selected the correct working plane.
    Maybe your working plane is wrong, i cant see it in your post.

    By the way, you can enter the points directly into the circle, the detour via "SCN" is not necessary

    which version do you have? Is it perhaps possible that in your version a circle input from a feature set is not allowed?
  • In this case, I would try: 
    ASSIGN/V1="CIR1.HIT[1..CIR1.NUMHITS]"
ASSIGN/V2="CIR2.HIT[1..CIR2.NUMHITS]"

  • I changed the circle to 3D to see if it made a difference and it didn't. Using 2019. I'll try yours and 's methods.
  • I can't get either method to work. Did you try to run this as a subroutine? My method works as a stand alone program but when I convert that into a subroutine and run it through my main pcdmis program, that is when all my circle constructions fail.
  • Have you tried with a generic feature instead of a constructed circle? I ran into that error the other day (without using subroutines) and was able to get around it with a generic circle.
  • in reply to acgarcia
    You can't just use points or elements from a subroutine.

    Either you construct the circle directly in the subroutine or you pass the element as a variable.
    I personally haven't tried the second one and so I don't know exactly how to do it at the moment.
  • Might be some subroutine referencing issue. Post your code as it is in subroutines, I believe the code you shared above is 'standalone'. There are ways you can test/debug this to narrow the issue down.
  • This is what is strange. I actually have 3 sets of 2 auto circles that are constructed into circles using create scan and cirx.hit[1...cirx.numhits], etc... Those give me the errors. I have 2 more sets of circles that use 4 auto circles using the same method and they work just fine.

    For now I ended up re creating my problem circles using the to points method, construct circles out of the points and they work in my subroutine.
