They are precision ground with a thread and a concentric known size diameter, so you screw it into the threaded hole then measure the known size diameter enabling you to report the location of the pitch diameter as opposed to the thread minor.

If you have a large enough tolerance and making a program use the pitch feature in your auto-circle to follow the pitch of the thread. Better that stopping your program and screwing locators into your part.

When you use auto circle or auto cylinder, enter the minor diameter for the dia & just below the start/stop angles you will see a box marked pitch. Enter your pitch there. Pitch is = 1/threads per inch. For example a 1/4-20 pitch is .05 and a 1/4-28 is .035714286. Using this will cause the tip to move "up" in pitch as it moves around the whole, thereby mirroring the thread spiral. HTHsigpic"Hated by Many, Loved by Few" _ A.B. - Stone brewery

Depending on your version and license you may not have auto features (I want to say you would have auto circles at aminimum but I can't be sure) so you can also manually change the amount you go into a hole by changing the hit value. To use the Z plane and a 1/4-20 hole measured with 6 hits as an example you would change the Z hit value of the second hit by adding (or subtracting) 0.0083 to it then the second hit's Z value would need to be changed by 0.0166, the third 0.0249 etc. This is essentially what PCDMIS is doing with the pitch function. If I am not mistaken auto circles comes with every package but I don't know what version they started doing that. Someone else may be able to straighten me out on that one.
