[Ja...] Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Good Morning, I have a customer that wants .0008 surface profile on a .0734 slot and I tried yesterday with a .5mm probe and the CMM kept saying unable to calculate not enough points. I used as many points as I could. I'm not sure how to achieve it. Any advice? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[To...] Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Are you using Free Form Surfaces? Or, are you asking for Surface Profile on a slot feature? Are there any datum references? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ja...] Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 Its on a slot feature and its datum's are to the OD and the Top face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ro...] Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Open the slot feature, right click inthe cad window and select "show all points". Data points will show in Green. make sure you have a "good amount" of points showing. then click on your datum features and see how many points you got on them as well. My guess is that your default points on your plane or circle(cylinder) is too low.show points.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ja...] Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 Free form surface in the drop down is grayed out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[La...] Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 If Freeform is grayed out, then you do not have this license. You can also confirm if you have the Freeform license by going to Extras > Settings > Miscellaneous and looking through your list of licenses.

[Ro...] Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 So i'm going to guess now that this is a customer supplied program, written by someone with FF surface. Great opportunity for you to go to your bosses and demand a FF license of your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
