Cloud of Points

Is it possible to pull dimensions from a scanned cloud of points without having a CAD model loaded? Generate a plane, line, point etc, align to it and pull dimensions? How do select individual points?

Thanks

  • Hey Brad,

    Yeah, Phil from Exact was sweeping the area today and yesterday setting up newly purchased arms and he stopped in today. He answered a lot of my questions, this being one of them. I thought you had to have a model up to use autofeatures, so I never tried it. Not the case, that is how you do it. Not sure why I thought that, I did a autofeature on a drilled hole last week that wasn't on the model, I just manually put the nominals in.

    After Phil's visit today, starting to feel a little more comfortable with this PC-dmis stuff, I just finished up two layouts at home that I was stuck on before, just becasue I'm not familiar enough with this software yet, but it's getting better.

    Although I did stump him two questions. One being on a colormapping of a part. The model disappears when I face colormap it and I don't get a colormap. He didn't have an answer for that and took a copy of the file to forward on to an applications guy.

    Thanks
