2019 R2 hasn't fixed THIS yet...... :mad:

Regarding Vision Auto Profile 2D? I'm beyond (even before that previously beyond) miffed about this 'feature'. Angry
EVERY attempt at a profile in Vision does the same thing. FACETED.
In a family of parts at my company? Faceted. I just tried on the Hexagon training block. SAME crap. WHY? See below:
This is the normal curve; an oval from the training Hex block:



But THIS is what I get using offline Auto Profile 2D:



See? And I know that doesn't look too bad, BUT forget about the graphics.... on the report it shows .0001 to .0002 from nominal. The profiles on my family of parts are bilateral .002. So I'm getting jaspered off the CAD by 10-20% of the tolerance before I even REALLY check the part. Jeezus cripes! Auto Profile 2D needs to tweak it's algorithm, or SOMETHING!.
As this feature currently exists? It just plain blows chunks.

*Note: If offline profile scanned with tactile tip? Not a problem. Rolling eyes

  • I agree, 2D profile has been a thorn in the side of the vision side of the software. It works great for reverse engineering to get a general idea of what the shape of a part or tooling is. However, when it comes to real-world applications with tight tolerances, it fails immensely. This has forced me to utilize tactile probes to measure the profile of a part.
