Evaluating Diameter is 15° Increments

[[Ma...]]

I have a diameter that needs to be report every 15° of a circle, I know you can do this with Radius measurement but is there a quick way to do it with a diameter?

Edit. Nevermind.

Maybe 2-Point diameter might work for you? You can tell it a start and angle range, so you might need like 12 of them (or put them in a loop with formulas controlling those fields). Alternatively, you can create a circle and recall the points in the 15 degree range, the points on the corresponding part on the other side, and do something similar.

also maybe single points then just multiply by 2 (you can use the circle created from all points centerpoint as an 'alignment'). I'd probably advise against not scanning a 15° segment, due to possible calculation inaccuracies; but ymmv.;

Maybe create your strategy with 24 circle scans (15°).

Then you can create individual circles from each scan of the original circle.

See attached images.

I have never tried this before; it just popped into my head.

Thank you for all your input.

I fully agree with not scanning in individual 15deg segments, for a few reasons. Instead, I would probably scan the full circle then use Recall feature points-add range limits to separate out the 15deg increments into additional circles. I've never done any testing of this specifically, but it would seem to me to be better metrology practice to eliminate the frequent start/stop accelerations, the pre and post travel point elimination, as well as make any modifications to the circle in the future easier (one actual feature to change instead of 24 hopefully), and allow me to compare those theoretical 15deg "circles" against the measured 360deg one to hopefully spot any of the calculation issues that can arise as you reduce the angular coverage.
