BOLT CIRCLE TO MINIMUM OF SLOTS NOT CENTER

[[WE...]]

Hello,

I'm working on a program, and I'm having trouble figuring out how to do the bolt circle on the print attached. Usually we only see bolt circles called out to the center of each slot. For that, I would just grab a circle feature and recall each slot. How would I go about doing this one?

Thank you,

Wendi Dowler

Create a 3D Line and Recall center circle and 1 outer circle.
Create Intersection Construction using the 3D line and the outer circle. Choose result that shows blue "x" at proper location.
Repeat for all 3 outer circles
Create a circle feature and Recall the 3 intersection features.

Thank you so much!

couldn't you recall the 3 circles into another circle and use max inscribed element when evaluating the diameter?

More specifically, recall feature points. Yes, that is also an option.

I finished up the program. I ended up having to recall each 3D line to the corresponding slot cylinder to get the "blue" x to show up where I needed it. I did try the other method of recalling feature points and using max inscribed. The readings were very close to each other and was also very close to our Ram Optical measurement.

Thank you again for your help!
