Theoretical circle in V-block

[[Je...]]

How do I create a theoretical circle or cylinder with tangent surfaces in a V-block? Is this possible with Calypso?

Who can walk me through this step by step?

I have had mixed results scanning a curve on the V and then using "Circle in contour best fit"...  I used to try to do this in gear teeth for a "over ball dimension" check but found another way of doing it.     Circle in contour might have improved since i last used it many.. many.. years ago....

Hello,

you can try this

Hi,

you can do an infinity of circle tangeant to two plan, so you have to choose one diameter.

how i will do (I guess there is other way)

First mesure the two plan of the V-block, construct a offset plan of each with your radius as value of offset.

intersect the two offset plan.

construct a theorical plan

intersect the theorical plan and the previous intersection, that give you a point with witch you can construct a theorical diameter at the choosen diameter, by adding formula in X ; Y ; Z and the diameter

Under "construction" there is "tangent". I don't think it works with planes though. If you intersect each plane of the V-block with the face of the V-block to get two lines instead of planes then you should be able to use "Tangent". Within "tangent" you just select each intersection line and enter the diameter.

tangent don't work with plane, but work great with line,  it is much simple (than a contruction on the intersection of the intersection of the offset :) 

thanks

Thanks everyone for pointing me in the right direction. It worked!
