Cylinder orientation Issue?

DOCX

Thanks for reading.

I'm having an issue with a part I'm trying to draft a pgm for.  The photo above shows Datum B which is a hinge.  I cannot measure this hinge with a probe.  I just can't get to it.  So, I place a pin in the hinge and create a measured cylinder off the pin.  When I execute the program i does not measure the cylinder properly.  Further more the cylinder isn't facing the right orientation.  I'm kind of lost.  Any ideas?  Thanks

  • Thanks for all the insight everyone.  I appreciate it greatly.  I am still having a few issues however.  I have attached a partial of my print and the cylinder issue I'm still having.  

     I did your suggestion.  I made two circles in the YPlus plane.  They looked fine.  I then constructed a cylinder out of those two circles and the same thing happened from the first.

    I attached another doc, this time with excerpts of the print I'm working off of.  I can reveal more print if need be.  

    Datum A is the part underside, Datum B seems to be the hinge centerpoint and Datum C Is a line?  Maybe I have this aligned like garbage?  

    I appreciate everyones help and insight.  ThanksDOCX

  • If your able to post your code it would be a big help in the troubleshooting process.
