Anytime i try to program a single point circle PC-DIMIS gives me an error saying "Hit 1 out of range". I have tried programing with different probe diameters, planes, and workplanes, still get the same error every time. What am I doing wrong?
Any help would be much apprectiated.
PC-DIMIS CAD Version 2012 (Release)
32 Bit Build # 513/pcdimis2012 [jun 29 2012]
Try setting up the circle with Auto Circle (3 sample and 1 hit) instead of using Quickstart? Eric
+1.
Measured Circles (using QuickStart) are using a reference plane that you define. Seems like that reference plane isn't being intersected with the probe, for whatever reason (plane slopes and ball is tiny?).
Using an Auto 1 hit Circle (must have sample hits, like everybody says) is the exact same process, except this time we build the 'reference plane' out of sample hits. Since you're localizing the plane out of sample hits, you're much more likely to have it create correctly. Note that if you're inspecting, say, a sheet metal application, the model's planar surface will be perfect and look like a good place to use 1 hit circles.
however, the real 'planar' surface ain't so planar. this might be the pothole in the the path of the pcdmis program.
