Loop Distance 60x

[[Jo...]]

Is there quick way with PCM commands to output 60 distance characteristics between 2 sets of 60 pts? These are 8.4mm nom. slot spaces 360 degrees around.

Thanks!

It should be possible even without PCM.

Make a characteristic, group it, add a loop to the group, use the feature names with the loop suffix.

You do not need to loop the characteristic. When you add the looped features into the characteristic, and run it, it will generate the correct amount of characteristics.

Yeah sorry haven't done much in PCM since picking up Calypso from Quindos. I was able to add () right into the distance characteristic name which could be the same used in the features, like "i" and put it into a loop or do/enddo command. Roughly:

do 

step= 1 to 60

distance 8.4(i)

feature point1 (i) feature point2 (i)

enddo

What kind of solution are you looking for? What I see in the screenshot is the simplest solution.
Make sure that all points are evaluated as space point.

I agree with Dan, Richard and David. No PCM, or even looping, I think is necessary for this application.

 

If I really wanted to do it with PCM, I would probably loop it and use formulas in feature 1 and feature 2 to be "Point1(LOOP1)" and "Point2(LOOP1)", but that's way over complicating things I think.
