[Jo...] Posted Wednesday at 05:53 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:53 PM I am trying to measure a break out diameter for size. basically it is a ring type part that has a center bore, a plane and web. The web has radius that is less than 60degrees of an arc that is intersected with the plane. Where the plane and radius meets is the diameter I need. The radius is part of a line profile (several around the part) measured with a curve. So i have the curve points. I recalled those points into individual diameters. If I was just measuring the radius, it would just constrain the size to get location and constrain the position to get the size... in this case I need both at same time. I tried using a theoretical diameter and formulas to input the location and size of the recalled points and then intersect with the plane. When i do this I get a diameter that does not make any sense. Any ideas on why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Jo...] Posted Saturday at 03:17 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 03:17 PM I have done some test and I just cannot seem to get this to work. It is not calculating the radius correctly. I have plotted the actual points in a cad software and it matches what was checked by hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Jo...] Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago The math for radiuses can get very weird.... 60 degrees is well into the zone where it can be just impossible for it to calculate a sensible radius. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
