[Gr...] Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 How do I get profile of a 2d line feature or a circle on a cylinder feature? Neither the Profile or Line Profile characteristics will let me select them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[De...] Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 One method is to create a new curve feature from the menu. Then recall feature points from your 2d Line or circle into the curve. I have been able to get to this to work in the past, although its pretty clunky when using it with circles. The correct method would probably to just create the curves as you would normally. Another option might be to export the points from the circle and or the lines and then import them into a curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[De...] Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Never mind the last option, there is no method I can see to export the points from a circle or line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Gr...] Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 Create curves as you would normally? I thought you couldn't do that unless you bought the curve add-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[De...] Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Oh sorry, my comments were predicated on the idea that you had curve, if you don't have a curve license then that clearly won't help you. I personally do not really get why they don't allow you to use a 2d line or a circle for profile of a line - my guess is its probably a not so subtle method of forcing people to spend more for a curve license.

[He...] Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 1. Create a circle. 2. Make sure all nominals are correct. 3. Go into evaluation and constrain it completely (Tic all checkboxes X, Y, Z, R) 4. Create a result element and write the formula. 2*max(abs(getActual("Circle1").maxDev),abs(getActual("Circle1").minDev)) Tee same procedure for 2D lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[De...] Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Great idea Henrik. Never thought of doing it that way, although I would assume that will only check it to the base alignment unless the feature uses another alignment. If the feature itself IS using a different alignment I assume Calypso should respect those altered nominals when getting the deviation numbers via PCM?

[Ro...] Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Please sign in to view this quote. one of the things that PCD does, that Calypso doesn't do. They don't charge extra for Line or Surface profiles. they don't have strange "Ball Center" vs "Surface Points" differences between different types of scans.
