PROFILE IN A LOOP

BIGWIG7 over 1 year ago

Profile in a loop. Does the scan compare to the original CAD surface in every instance?

or does it treat every instance as a separate part?

If you're using Find Nominals, then yes, it will compare against the CAD surface it was defined on.

If you're looping parts (rather than features on a part) there's a technique you can use to make sure the model moves with the part. The standard LOOP command doesn't work in this instance.

Use a do/until loop and recall external alignments for each fixture station, then saving them as curr.aln, then recall curr.aln before the part measurement.

It's like anything, once you've done it a couple of times it's quite straight forward, or you can copy-paste a previous program (and simply edit where necessary).
