Hi guys,

I am measuring a piston skirt diameter. Since the skirt trace is an oval, I am using minimum circumscribed circle to fit the trace and get my ODs. Am I doing it right? Appreciated your help!

Thanks!

Bob,

Have you tried using the Ellipse Feature (under Special Geometries)? I use them for both the base alignment as well as reporting the ovality. You should have a table of some kind giving the ovality (see attached) to tolerance the "D" and "D2" Diameters in the Calypso feature. In my case, the difference in diameters 90 degrees from each other, is .09/ to 0.1mm at different heights.
