I have a print that is calling out the True position of a Hex Nut, on top of the FCF it has the description of the Hex nut instead of a diameter size. Have any had to deal with something like this?
I get the part completely deburred & as clean as possible. Then with the largest diameter ball possible I probe the threads. I'll use two or three separate auto-circles with as many hits as possible using the appropriate positive or negative tread pitch. I'll then construct those circles into a cylinder & report the position of that cylinder.
I have found that this method accurately reports position but not so much for reporting the thread's major diameter.
