I apologize if this has been asked before, but I searched on here without any luck to my dilemma with a intersection issue. I do gauge points now by constructing a plane and offset to the height needed then construct a circle with that plane and a cone created from the program. I recently ran into an issue trying to create an intersection point so any help or guidance is appreciated and I am PCDmis for dummies, my apologies. Also, why I am asking for help is there good way to check wall thickness and it be accurate (the red circled dimension is the one I am curious about, not trying to insult anyone) I have uploaded some pictures to try and help the questions, thank you in advance again for any help.
Measure your diameter as a cylinder. Conical feature as a cone. Then construct a circle at the intersection of the cone and the cylinder.
For wall thickness:
Origin off the top. Then offset your Z down to the desired gage point height. From here....
Easiest: Make an auto vector point in the ID. Then, copy and paste that point around the origin with like 7 points or so. Then, on the outside wall, do the same thing. Then all the way around, report the distance between each opposing point.
Option 2: Make an autocircle in the ID and one on the OD. Both at the same Z height. Then, report the diameter of each of the features. Then, write a variable that says V1= LOC1.D.MEAS-LOC2.D.MEAS
Then make a generic circle, feed V1 into the diameter of that circle, then report the diameter of your generic circle.
