Thanks for your advice.
Just a quick outline of situation. We have Bearing Pocket in Plastic part. This DIA is measured over ten pads. Except that we are measure Inside DIA, position etc. we are interesting in position of each pad in polar coordinates also. My idea was construct ideal center point (THEO POI) and measure distance between this THEO POI and ACT POI over each pad.
Maybye I do something wrong but I followed your advice (MEPOINT, edit coordinates, use NOM mode) but it isn’t working. Do you have any other idea how check polar coordinates ?
where the DFNELE command creates teh ELE, and the PUTVALS 'stuffs' the values that you desire into the X,Y,Z fields (note you have to either define the real variables Xval,Yval,Zval, or replace them with actual numerical values).
As for 'polar' coordinates (technically we call it cylidrical or spherical coordinates), create the CSY with the BLDCSY command and select CYL for the type of coordinate system.
