I'm trying to create points from auto circles using the "To Points" program I found on this forum. I created them fine from a hole & stud auto circle. I'm trying to measure wall thickness at point locations. I've been verifying these wall thicknesses with a caliper and I'm about .030" off. Anyone know what kind of points these auto circles give us? Any difference between a hole & stud circle?

What version are you using?
I noticed when I upgraded to 4.1 that for some reason the points I was generating with the "ToPoints" was not probe compensating???
I never had a single problem in 3.5 or in 3.7 though...sigpic

The only problem I have with the topoints is after I run it I have to save then exit ALL the way out of pcdmis and go back in and turn the edit window back on. Never figured what was wrong.sigpic

I use this a lot running 3.7mr3 and the issues I have are #1-The vectors jump around. I can create the points from an auto circle that is perp to my base plave and my K vectors are never zero. #2-If I edit any of the points my vectors flip.Xcel & MicroVal Pfx & Global 37mr4 thru 2012mr1sp3
