How can I query the distance between 2 circles from outside to outside?

[[Üm...]]

Hello. I have 2 circles parallel to each other. How can I query how far these circles are from each other (outside to outside). Can you help me? It is very urgent.

Hello Ümit,

• create outer disc caliper, selection is done by RMB on circles -> restore point selection
• outer disc caliper touching the section
• create "curve from 2d geometrical element" -> touch with outer disc caliper 
• Create two point distance between Circles and add the radii values with a user defined check.

It depends if you want to touch the section or touch the circumference of the fitting circles.

I would...

1.Create 2 point line between the circles, gives you a vector

2.Point Normal Intersection Point, Construct-Point-Other. Use the Line vector (create point) and then invert direction Create Point) to intersect the outer edge of the circles

3. Create out Touch Edge Distance using the original line created between the two circles as your distance vector. 

 

If your part isn't lined up to a coordinate system, then create two circles adjacent to each other and create another 2 point line between them. That will give you your edge direction
