Probing Point Calculations

[[Da...]]

I'm measuring a 500mm diameter plate and using predefined point locations distributed across the feature. I'd like to use individual probing points in calculations in a result element characteristic. Is there a way to achieve this in the formula window?

You will probably have to recall each point from the Plane into individual Point features.

Point - Recall Feature Points - Right Click on the Plane - Add Range Limits - Click on the top right button "New Point" - Enter the corresponding Point #. - Repeat

Edit - Turn on Recalculate Nominal Geometry, but make sure you do not have any actual data in the Plane, so it will calculate correctly.

Or you could do it the other way and probe the part using points, then create a theoretical (recall) plane from them.
That way you can do whatever you want with your points.

Dave, these are all excellent tips. I would only add one thing. You may want to go to Features Settings Editor/Units/Roundoff meas. for preset nominal value. Pull down the "Set to" menu and select Off. This will prevent any rounding of the recalled values.

Thanks everyone! This helps quite a bit. I had no idea the right click menu existed for the "recall feature points" list. "Add Range Limits" looks like it will work just fine for what I need. Thanks again!
