measure percentage of concavity or hollow in a crowned lead

Does the latest version of GearPro have the ability to measure percentage of concavity or hollow in a crowned lead?  Asking for a friend.

There is a characteristic called "Helix Hollow" (specifically it is f_hoß, or at least I think that's what it's saying). I actually think its been there at least since 2018 (since I started using Gear Pro regularly), though I'm not 100% sure it is what you are looking for. Hopefully Roman sees this tomorrow and can weigh in a bit. I understand the mor normal characteristics, but some of these specialized things (like twist and hollow) I'm not nearly as familiar with.

Evaluation of hollow is possible, yes.
Settings can be done as follows:

 

Description of the functionality you can find in the user manual or by pushing the F1 Button in the dialog:


Is this what you are asking for?

Thank you for this information.  I believe this what my friend was looking for but I will  update this post if more info is needed.  Again, thank you.

It's not for gears, but in PCM there are those commands - perhaps you can find them helpfull in other areas

numberOfPointDistanceExceed

Specifies the number of curve points with a deviation greater than the
reference value. The syntax is:
numberOfPointDistanceExceed("CurveFormName", reference value)
The function returns the number of points.

Example:
numberOfPointDistanceExceed ("CurveForm1", 0.025) counts the
number of curve points with a deviation > 0.0025 and returns the number.

numberOfPointDistanceLessThan

Specifies the number of curve points with a deviation smaller than the
reference value. The syntax is:
numberOfPointDistanceLessThan("CurveFormName", reference
value)
The function returns the number of points.

Example:
numberOfPointDistanceLessThan ("CurveForm2", 0.001) counts the
number of curve points with a deviation < 0.001 and returns the number.
