[Ky...] Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I have a tube with a hole going thru the side of it . How do I measure the location of side holes. Thanks for the help. KyleHole On a cylinder.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Er...] Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Theres multiple options. Click out the points, convert to point set if you like to scan. Or if you have 7.0 and curve you can create a curve relative to the outer surface surrounding the hole. (If it's very thin, I think they call it parallell curve?) Here's the simplest way, i think?

[Cl...] Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Or in wireframe, select the 2d curve (ID or OD side) and move it in 1/2 mat'l thickness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Er...] Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Yeah, but then you miss the point of keeping every points of the curve relative to a point from the curve on the outside. So that you compensate for dents or other error that might cause the probe to miss the actual surface. Its really super convinient, this took a shit ton of time to do before.

[Cl...] Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I guess that would be a problem if it's a thin wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you measure the feature as a cylinder you’ll be able to create a point set the easy way with all of the handy tools at your disposal. Just be sure to constrain the normal vector so that it computes correctly. That is, if you intend treat it like a 2d feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
