Point Offset or Move point

[[jo...]]

I have a fixture I'm writing a program for. There are several periphery points on inside of gage. I need to offset these points by 5 mm. How do I offest these points to account for the 5mm offset? My gage builder report shows the x,y,z coordinates off set. I can measure the points but they are 5mm off. Thanks for any help!

You can create nominal points at whatever coordinates you choose.
Open a point feature, enter the nominal XYZ coordinates and the
appropriate vector.

Thanks Clarke. I need to offset those nominal points by 5mm; they are not actual points touching on the fixture; they are offset by 5mm

What would happen, if I execute that point, take point in the air??

Obviously, I did not quite understand what he was asking.

But it appeared as though my answer wasn't
what he was looking for? Maybe I misunderstood?

All I know is I want this day to be over, I'm tired.

You should be able to pull down a point feature, turn it into a "Theoretical" feature, then formulate the nominals (right click and select formula in the nominal field for each axis). You can tell it to use the actual values from a touch point feature in these formulas. Then, you can just add the 5mm to the formula. Ex: if I want to offset the Y nominal, I would put a formula in the Y nominal field that states: getActual("Point1").y + 5.0

In the attached photo, the point on the surface with the yellow arrow is the touch point. The floating Blue "X" is the recalled point that has been offset.

I am a new user of calypso, just done basic level training. You can yell at me if I say something wrong. 🤣
I guess his question is how to offset a point by 5 mm in vector direction. This issue is very often when using part’ cad to calibrate a gage (without a gage cad).
I have the same question.

If it is an edge point then the projection can be set to anything, plus or minus. Evaluation d3 sets the projection.

Thanks Erik Sikora!
To clarify the question, a picture was attached.
when using Go/Nogo feeler to check a profile of a surface for actual part on gage, a gage simulator need to be built by offset the cad surface (any type of surface). to verify gage simulator, coordinate of a point on simulator need to be obtained by offset the point on cad surface. the question is how to obtain the coordinate of point B by offset point A 5mm in vector direction.

To offset a point in vector direction you measure the actual point (space point). You name it to whatever you like but in this case it is called Point1 Then you create a copy from that point and choose option theoretical feature.
Then for each for each of x, y, z, i, j, k you right click and choose formula in the nominal field. There you type
getNominal("Point1").x + 5*getNominal("Point1").nx
For y you type.
getNominal("Point1").y + 5*getNominal("Point1").ny
z:
getNominal("Point1").z + 5*getNominal("Point1").nz
i:
getNominal("Point1").nx
j:
getNominal("Point1").ny
k:
getNominal("Point1").nz

Then you do the same for the actual fields but you change getNominal to getActual for each field.
