DISTANCE BETWEEN CYLINDER AND PARALLEL PLANE


---

Recommended Posts

I have a long cylinder about 4 inches and a plane running parallel to cylinder axis. I need distance from cylinder to plane. I have tried approaching different ways but getting different readings is confusing me. Plane length is also about 4 inches in direction of cylinder axis but is only about 1 inch wide. Parallelism between features is about .001. Plane lies about 5 inches away from the cylinder end. I am thinking that parallelism is playing a role in determining the distance due the plane being far from cylinder end.

What is the best approach to go about this? any ideas or thoughts.

I like to use Position for this with additional report turned on to get the actual value. Only check it in 1 direction (only Z, for example) that coincides with your coordinate system. Position will report the worst case.
