how do you measure to a theoretical point

i asked several times during the 4 day class i went in Irving and STILL dont know how to measure to a theoretical point for example the center of a sherical radius where the center is offset in both x and y? and this center is in space this is very fustrating i cant be the only one with this problem please help

  • Are you trying to measure polar radius points and/or polar spherical points around the nominal position?


    If so, I know PCD can do polar radius points by moving your trihedron to the nominal position and then setting your work plane to the axis to which the radius points go around. Then when you define the location of the points check the "PR" box. I'm not sure PCD can do polar spherical points, I haven't tried that yet. I know Metrolog can, but I'm not sure about PCD.
