Joe,
Okay good to know. I really want you guys to be successful with this so please continue to bring to me
any issues you’re running into. If solutions aren’t in place, maybe we can build them in!
So couple things – someone else had another method which would be the equivalent to how I would do
what you’re doing in a separate software:
The best thing I can think of is to extract all of these circles from CAD and then Multi-select all of them
and change the Construction Method = “Single Point” and the Projection Plane = “use Nominal for Circle
Plane”. This will allow you to nest the probe into each hole for a center location and approximate
diameter.
When you open the criteria, the only thing you are really concerned with is the “Distance to Axis”. This is
doing the same thing SA does when comparing a point to a vector line.
Also, someone else noted (but this will be obvious to you) for any of these to work, you need to first be
aligned to the part. No changing that
Let me know how you get on!
