capturing features from curves

[[To...]]

Below is a simple profile from the OD of a cylindrical part. The view is from the X/Z plane. It contains a mix of cones and tori.  The cones are controlled with angular tolerances and gage dia's or gage lengths. The tori have radius tolerances.  Measuring cones takes a long time to scan but don't tell you much.  And the radii have such short arc segments can be problematic for consistency.  Often, I will create a curve so I can plot a graph to help build confidence in the shape of the profile.  From the curve, I can create lines and circles by windowing selected points from the curve, so I don't have to measure things twice. Note: I did not use a curve in the example below.

In the past, I have created 3 copies of the curve and rotated the curves by 90, 180 and 270 degrees about Z so I can create the cones from 4 lines but I have to manually re-create the windows for capturing the points at the new lines.  This can be a time-killer on parts with more features.  Is there a trick to having the windows rotate along with the lines? No PCM

I am able to use formulas in Calypso 2024.

But would be better to select all curves and then make box selection? It should apply same dimensions to all selected curves.

Any reason to not use point numbers instead?

Had similar issue, do not know if this will work in your case or not, but i solved mine by using different alignments, rotating to the same position.  Now I have the same view for multiple locations.
