2D Feature on 3D CAD File

InspectorJester
Hello!
Running PC-DMIS 2018R2
----------------------------------------
I have a 3D CAD file (STEP) that I need to get a corner radius from. The way it's drawn, PC-DMIS wants to draw a circle in Y, along a neckdown, whereas I need a circle in Z, where the neckdown meets a land.
I am unable to "point and click" for this; it wouldn't be an issue, as I could probably math everything out, but PC-DMIS crashes every time I try to use a Vision circle (for whatever reason) but works if a create a 2D Profile, a Feature Set, and construct a circle from that.

I'm trying to make sure my nominals for the scan are correct, and PC-DMIS won't just snap to that feature.
Any suggestions?

  • Do you have access to SolidWorks or some similar software? When I need to do a Vision program for something like this (basically every part off the lathe that gets measured on the Vision system), I go into Solidworks and cut the part in half, then save half the part as a step file and import it into PC-DMIS.
