I am a little newer to CMM programing and hoping I can get some help in this endeavor.
if you can see , the cylinder size (highlighted in blue) is .711-.715 with a theoretical gage ball of .709 going into the cylinder the other dimension highlighted in blue is a distance from the bottom of the theoretical gage ball to a plane.
I have tried making the theoretical sphere using the cylinder and distancing the sphere to the plane but it comes out off, even when i use the "minus radius" button in distance. I believe I can accomplish this measurement, but feel I am missing a piece of the puzzle.
Can anyone here help me solve this issue? it is the last part of a rather robust program the captures most of these dimensions. if it helps the part is orientated so the plane that is being measured is facing up in Z.
