The auto circle keeps reporting R5-R6mm. I attempted to change a few things:
- lighting for better contrast. No luck, working with a plastic part, the color is very uniform.
- increase the number of coverage active hits from 4 to 15. Still getting a very small radius.
I wasn't sure what else to change, so I switched to using auto edge points. I'm still getting a small radius: R5-R5.204.
- despite having the same lighting settings for each auto edge point, I get an error message for some of them saying that an edge can't be found. I then attempted to customize the lighting settings for each point so that I'd get no error messages when checking the radius. Now I'm getting edge error messages for a point that was reporting fine just a moment ago. There's no consistency here; I'm puzzled.
So I suppose after all of that rambling, my question is: what are some strategies you guys use to find radii assuming you cannot use the radius gage in Live View because a radius is too big?
