compare a measured point to a theoretical line from CAD

BlueRay
Ok so I'm pretty new with this software, but here's what I'm trying to do:

I'm using the auto line feature to guide to a modeled center line of a hole (the hole dia is smaller than the probe I'm using).. Using the readout I can see the distance to this center line as a vector and see how far away the hole is compared to where it's modeled to be.
After seeing the hole is correct, I'd like to now take a point with the probe in the hole, and then compare that measured point to the vector of the CAD center line. Ideally, I'm looking for it to report a distance in inches

  • Just came back to check and no response guess since its a month old
    Ne ways after posting in here i found out how to get away with just 1 hit even if your holes are on a contoured surface
    You program an auto circle change the hits to 1 hit and on the tab where it says nominals open it up and select vector
    Then when u go to execute it right click on the probe readout hit setup and select the vector option and the closest to cad then your ready
    diameters don't really work to well but you can write a comment on your report saying you checked hole dia with gages and delete the df line from the tp and just report x y z and tp
