Recall measured points from looped curve

[[Ma...]]

Hi,

i am looking for a way how to obtain circles from 2D curve which was measured as 16 rotary divisions.
I wanted to quickly scan a groove, then later obtain dimensions.

For width i was able to just intersect curve with a theoretical plane and report 2 point distance - which worked on division without problems.

For circles i have no luck.

No PCM available - any hints?

Thanks

Hi Martin,

You can recall the feature points of a curve into a circle or any other feature. Insert a circle, go to recall feature points, right click on the curve and select open. From there you can use the tools in the dialogue box to select the points you want. You can select by number, range, and there are also selection tools that become available like a box to window around the points you want to select. The box tool shows up on the toolbar at the top when the dialogue opens.

Thanks, but i have one curve in loop 16x. I can not extract data only from one iteration for one circle ( either point range or box ).

I was able to do 16 separate circles and manually fill points from each iteration.

I was hoping, that i'll create a curve a circle - both will be 16 in total and circle will have only own part of recalled points.
This way i am getting wrong radius or rotated recalled points ( slots are in Z axis rotation, but recalled point while opened that circle is in X axis ).
