[Ha...] Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Hello To All, I am new to Calypso and I am wondering if there is a better way to figure out the dimension in the attached photo. I am looking for the 0.5646" - 0.5651" distance. I don't have much for an alignment. The part sits with the left-hand side down on the table. I am using the face of the cone on the right-hand side and the OD of the cylindrical "shaft", any other features are just larger OD's without any flat surfaces or hole patterns to extract a line/plane from. I have created two 2-D lines, one on each cone and in-line of each other and centered, and then used "cartesian distance" to give me the distance. So far, nothing else I have tried in Calypso has gotten me as close to the stated size as the "cartesian distance", is there a better way? Thanks for any help, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ri...] Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Create an alignment to the angle of the cone. Create two cone calculations, one for each cone to the diameter of the body connecting the cones. Create a Caliper Distance using the alignment set at the cone angle then use Maximum for each cone calculation. This should give you the value you require.

[Ha...] Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 I made a mistake in the subject line of this post; I am sorry for the misunderstanding. The information I need is the distance between the angles of the cones. The information Rick provided did answer another question so that is great. Hopefully, I will get better at explaining what I am in need of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
