  • circle constr from points in loop doesn't change dimension when measured with label

    I have gauge with 2 different diameters inside – bowtie shape. Smaller dia I measure with no problems, for larger I created 2 loops, 12 points each. I even managed to construct circle and measure it (you guys helped me a few weeks ago to do this). Because…

  • Code to mark/unmark out of tolerance dimensions
