[Cl...] Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I've used the Maximum/Minimum coordinate before, but not with "Nominal feature" ticked. I'm creating the program now, but don't have a part yet. By ticking this option, does it grab the point closest to the nominal value entered? I'm using 2d curves to create a circle from the intersection of a cone and plane for true position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ke...] Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I have never used Nominal Feature, when using Max Coordinate with a curve. I would presume that the Max Coordinate would be the "highest" actual point, relative to the nominal feature; and not related to the nominal values that you enter.

[Ma...] Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I believe that if you check the Nominal Feature box the coordinate reported is relative to the best-fit feature. So, if your feature was a plane the max coordinate would be the distance between the max point and the best-fit plane. If the Nominal Feature box is not checked, the max coordinate would be relative to the alignment the feature was measured to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Cl...] Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 I have to report the true position of the diameter (Intersection of cone and plane), but I need a circle feature because the print calls out LMC for the circle in question. I'm trying to construct it by getting points on 4 equally spaced 2d curves cutting through the cone and plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Can you create a theoretical circle with formulas referencing the diameter and coordinates from an intersection? Alternately, you may be able to use the diameter from an additional cone calculation using the height of the plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
