Min/Max Feature point or Coordinate?

[[Za...]]

Could somebody point me in the right direction for how to obtain this measurement? I want to take the middle of this radius and measure the distance to a bore. How do I get that middle point?

Thanks,

Zach

What radius and what middle, no clarity...

From the center of the radius that the red arrow is pointing to? I don't see a
nominal dimension for the radius in question?


Without seeing the entire print, of how your aligning the part, there could
be an easier way to do it, but I'd say one way would be to scan a 2d curve
along that surface and use minimum coordinate (assuming that side is Y-).
That will give you the farthest Y- point on the curve. Make that point a
secondary alignment (XY zero), then translate (Y+) the nominal radius.
Now your at the center of the radius.

Sorry, I thought the red arrow was more obvious 😉. Unfortunately we don't have curve for Calypso. I'm sure there's a few things I could have used it for so far, but I've had to find a way around it.

I can upload more of the print, but I really just need to know how to set a point right in the middle of the radius (either low or high point depending on which way you're looking at it) to compare to other sections of the part.

Not much radius to measure, but do anyway, (single points) then constrain
X&Y in the evaluation. Now you can measure from the radius center to the bore.

I may be misunderstanding but it looks to me that dimension #20 measures from your Datum Axis line to the end plane, a picture of both your datum and the callout would be more helpful.

Here is a little bit more of the print if that helps 🙂

Measure the radius (single points) which will be a small segment, maybe 90 deg or so, recall the points into a
circle feature, make sure that circle is set to 360 deg constrain X&Y, caliper distance bore (center) to circle (max).

I'm so used to using the center that I completely forgot about min/max in the distance characteristics. Thank you Clarke!
