Extracting Actuals from measured circle

[[Jo...]]

Hello!

Learning Calypso on the fly. Trying to figure out how to arbitrarily extract actual pts from already measured circle. I have done this with other cmm software's over the decades in different ways (i.e. Quindos COLAPT, COLACT). Working in air gaging, the gage head jet orifices' that measure diameters are usually rotated around different degrees and I just want those point to point diameters. I tried intersecting planes at different angles and using those two points distances, but they're already calculated to the whole best fit LSQ circle. (all intersected sections produce the same pt to pt diameter)
I would need the actuals (radius corrected) then do a pt to pt simple distance.

I suppose I could just measure two opposing points at the proper vectors but what fun is that. No CAD model by the way.

Thanks!

Lot of ways to skin the cat....

You can measure it as cylinder and use two point diameter option.

You can use radius measurements option will get the radius of each points.

You can change the evaluation to maximum inscribed elements and calculate the minimum dia.

To extract a single point, add a point (features - > point), double click to edit, then under the nominal definition dropdown seleect "recall feature points". Select the circle, right-click and "add limit" (I think that's the name) and select the point or point range you want to use.

There's also a button like this
in the top right corner that lets you see the points to choose from when you're in the "add limit" window.
