[Mi...] Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I have a tube shaped part that is 130mm tall 50mm OD. I want to take 125 points ID and OD to check wall thickness every 1mm or so. I know I can do the pattern function for the points but what about the distance of the points. Im trying to do something so that I can get all these done automatically like the pattern. Thoughts....

You can reference patterned features in the distance characteristic by entering "Point1(*)" and "Point2(*)". This will compare them elementwise as long as you have the same number of elements.

[Mi...] Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 Yeah I forgot to choose the "ALL" aka (*) ughhhh Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/13438-tube-wt/#findComment-68674 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[To...] Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 If the points are directly opposed to each other, I would use a 3D distance. Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/13438-tube-wt/#findComment-68676 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Mi...] Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Why? I don't think Ive ever used 3D Dis. Advantages? Ill try it and see what I get for sure Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/13438-tube-wt/#findComment-68678 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a direct distance between 2 points, which is why it's important that they are directly opposed. When you create a pattern on the point, it will suggest that you change the evaluation to a "Plane" point. This is necessary because the default "Touch" point will cause the distances to be skewed. Have you ever used Distance Check? If you click on a model using Distance Check, it will put a Space Point where you clicked and go along vector until it breaks thru the next surface and places another Space Point there. It also creates a 3D distance characteristic, fully loaded with the 2 Space Points. I believe Space Points and Plane points will likely give you the same result, or very, very close to the same. However, it you drag one of the points to a different location, you'll need to do the same thing with the other point.Screenshot 2021-02-23 084435.jpg Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/13438-tube-wt/#findComment-68680 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Jo...] Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Couldn't you recall points into ID and OD curve, then get min, max ? Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/13438-tube-wt/#findComment-68682 Share on other sites More sharing options...
