Leveling a cylinder

[RICHIE RICH]

I have a part with an id on its left side ie x- plane
i do 16 hits 2 circles 2 depths construct a cylinder
measuring from left to right

Then i level this cylinder to x+
Then i xyz origin this cylinder

i repeat this procedure in DCC alignment

Then i measure the two circles i used to create the cylinder
and get readings within .0001 this is good

But when i put the next part up
it does not perform the leveling correctly
i get up to .001 off in y and z

any ideas thanks

I would recommend more levels in your cylinder (at least 3)

try that and see if it works better


:::EDIT:::

Also your form of the following parts will greatly influence the ZERO of a cylinder

[BSchwark]

What kind of circles are you using? Measured or auto-circles?

What is the distance between levels and why are you topless?

my cylinder

The distance between my circles which are "AUTO" circles with
16 hits is .400 apart total of 32 hits
I am topless because it is a rule you can't
wear a shirt in a JEEP with the top off LOL

Richie Rich, I know this should be in the off-topic, its about you off shirt, Your Hot, and I am starting to wish I was riding your jeep too.

Set the depths of your circles using tour -X- (I believe that is the way you said it was setting) instead of using the depth (Set depth at Zero and adjust the location with your -X-) Then create your cylinder. It may be recoginizing the circles at the same level?

Thanks dude

I have gotten some cool dates from that jeep
I LOVE IT LOL

[RICHIE RICH]

i will try the depth at zero

thanks i will give it a try

I also use a level cyl to the x about the z and then level cyl to the x about the y. This takes any error out of the axis that is perpendicular to the plane that is leveled and squares it up

..........after all with 2 circels being measured you are really macking a cone............

Did it ever occur to you that maybe Ricie Rich is a mack daddy?

Don't "cofuse" the software, it might explode. I would recommend a dictionary, but that might be a bit advanced.

I have one of those at home. It holds up the back corner of the my crotch.

For one thing, you can't set zero on ALL three axis of a cylinder, well I guess you can technically but it isn't a good idea.

Paul, you and Craiger are starting to wierd me out..... Put your dam.n shirts back on.
