Sample Hits: Moving Them?

[Peter Warcholyk Ultra Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Peter Warcholyk]

Today, I am quite frustrated. Running 3.7mr3.

Measuring a hole in plastic, with cad. If I want to use 3 initial & 3 permanent hits, only one of the hits will be on the surface that I want to use.

I know that you are supposed to be able to "move" the hits in this version.

Method; I select auto feature, then circle. Next I select 3 initial and 3 permanent, with 5 hits in the hole.

I then select the hole on the cad, change angle to start 0, end 360.
Next, right mouse click on one of the "hits", I then select "user defined".
I then select and drag the surface sample hits where I would like them.
After this, it does not matter what I do, when I go back to the feature in the edit window and f9 the feature, the hits have reverted back to the "default".

Why?? Please help??

I don't know if it matters, but I always select the hole on the CAD first, then make the changes to the # of hits, etc.

But I'm on V3.5MR2, so I haven't tried moving sample hits.

Tried it



Thanks Johnboy,

Yup, I did select the cad first. After selecting the hole in the cad, I would then try to move the sample hits.

Don't know why they will not stay.

I use 3.5mr2 and it is my understanding that the hits for the feature can be moved/altered but the "sample hits" to determine feature vector can not be changed. They just have a different spacer value and the orientation/position is determined by the current working plane xy, yz, zx

You should not "close" the feature window. Instead click or unlick the measure box (if you want to measure) and click create.

Not sure if you are doing this.
