[Cl...] Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I have a datum surface that is a torus, any ideas on how to get creative here? The very end of the part (end of threads). I'm thing I might have to use a datum feature simulator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ke...] Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 How is the torus being used as a datum? (using the central diameter, or the outer surface?) I use torus' all the time, to locate/control measurements, but they are precision ground, and I typically have 80degrees of curvature available.

[Ke...] Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 ...That's a sticky wicket, even with a full feature... If you're not measuring many parts (I deal with a lot of prototypes & benchmarking): Possibly a plane with a few tight circle paths, and use Outer Tangential. But if you are running for production, DFS is probably the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Cl...] Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 The print for this part also has a surface profile callout with MMC bonus for the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
