[Ca...] Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 There is a .004'' discrepancy from caliper x distance vs just x callout. Caliper is using base alignment from plane(plane is use for planer rotation and zero on x) to hole x distance callout. I'm assuming just x call out of hole is also using base alignment so why the discrepancy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Cl...] Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Check the caliper distance evaluation. It could be set to Maximum or Minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ca...] Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 (edited) I have and they are evaluated at center. I found the .004'' difference. X callout is center of base alignment to hole whereas caliper distance is center of plane B to hole. Edited May 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Please sign in to view this username. Sorry, but you have a mistake there. If you want to have same result you have to use that Base-Plane -B- as rotation in space or at least as planar rotation and as X origin. Value on X,Y,Z is from origin of feature - for plane it's one of corner. Using caliper distance and "Center" is from center of feature, so if that -B- plane is not perpendicular to plane -A- and -C- then there will be always something. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost wish they would just disable the output or make some warning (like the annoying one when you switch to a UPR pre-filter) when trying to tolerance an axis (X, Y, Z) from a 3d feature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Cl...] Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Out of curiosity I've opened a plane feature, but I don't see such an option. Tom, you don't look a day over 30. I'll be 63 in August. I'm probably the oldest dude in the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ma...] Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Please sign in to view this quote. Either you recall "Plane" to a "Point" feature or edit a "Plane" element in Characteristics tab where you can select which point of a plane will be evaluated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I will just add, that result may vary, because of measured points. So it's the same as using point with recall measured points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[To...] Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Please sign in to view this quote. Good job Mateusz.... I never noticed that before. Does anyone remember this option being located in the feature, i.e. back in the 2000's? Or, is my brain starting to fade?...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
