Can a hole axis be create and recognized as T value in CAD. The part has a hole that is smaller than any probe tip I have available. I would like to be able to place probe at surface of the hole and wall and recognize the hole axis real time in T (CAD). I have 2016 CAD++ SP7. Thanks in advance.
Yes I know how to use the single click hole. What i would like to do is what I was able to do with some previous software is hold the probe in the hole at the mating surface and the probe read or measure the hole axis in real time T(CAD). I'm not wanting to create a program or a report. Just want the look at the T value on the screen while holding the probe in the hole. Is there a way to do this? Thanks
Ah, you want to do like PolyWorks can do with the real time "Build/Inspect" mode. Sorry, I misread that.
Well, even with PolyWorks, you would still need to align to the part, but in PC-DMIS, you might have to go an extra step. (I haven't touched Portable in PC-DMIS in several years now, so I don't know if PC-DMIS has the same capability or not.)
Align to the part, auto-feature a single point circle, construct a generic point with the values from the circle, and dimension that:
