[Ty...] Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I have a CAR that is asking me to measure an OD with 5 linear scans and use those to get the largest cross sectional diameter. Not Min Circumscribe, but where the diameter is the largest and what the diameter reads. I have a lot of ideas on how to do this, but it is going to involve a lot of constructions and formulas. Is there an easy way to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Br...] Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 If you use the "2 point diameter" characteristic, it will give you a maximum and minimum point-to-point distance around the circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ty...] Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 I had thought about using a 2 point diameter, but I need to make a feature instead of a characteristic as our reporting system is...odd (was put into place long before I started and I've been pitching for Pi-web for months). I started to explain what our system does, but as I was writing it out, I realized I might be able to get 2 point diameter to work. I am going to try to make a theoretical circle and make the actuals report the max diameter of the 2 point. I will have to mask the 2 point and make a redundant diameter characteristic, but it should work with out reporting system. Just in case this doesn't work, any other ideas?

[Ri...] Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 You won't be able to do 2 Point Diameter with that type of strategy as no two points would be directly opposed of one another. Any particular reason to do Linear Line Scans? It might be possible to somewhat get what you are asking with the Radius Measurement Tool, but it will output every single point, so you might have a lot of data to sift through, and it wouldn't tell you where.

[Ty...] Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 I'll just bump it up to 6 paths to get opposing points. The reason for the lines is because these parts used to have a defect. The QE wanted to get a bunch of information about the defect, so I scanned 6 individual lines to get everything they would want/need about said defect. Now the parts are failing for something completely different and the QE is thinking that what I did before is the same thing as what they want.
