i was measuring an oring groove that by calipers measured 0.645 the arm measured a plane to plane measurment of 0.234 i measured a plane at the top of the groove and a plane at the bottom of the groove and measured the distance between the two in 3d and that is number i got however all other dimensions i took using the same set up and alignment came out correct .
what? how do you mean i am sorry i am very new to this and not sure what you mean i measured a plane at the top of the oring groove and one at the bottom of the groove and then used the dimension between butttom on the screen the you know the arrow between two lines and kept gettting the same thing no matter what i did i am sorry about about my ignorance but i am trying
You can dimension each plane separately.
If the distance you want is in the Z axis, just dimension each plane in Z.
Or you could just look at the "actual" Z values in the measured feature's listing.
Of course, if the planes are not normal to any axis, this will not work.
