What is the difference between vector points and surface points? Only thing I know of is you can take sample hits with a surface point.

Right! if you take a "surface point" without sample hits is identical to a "vector point".
Most of my programs are from cad (vector points) so I rarely use surface.
I would use Surface when no cad available (checking irregular forms) so the CMM can fin the vectors.Last edited by Roberto; 10-31-2015, 11:44 AM.sigpicIt's corona time!

SP can be the same thing as the VP. With VP you need to know the vectors or they can be retrieved from the CAD, with SP the vectors will come from the sample hits, which is ideal to use if you dont have the CAD.B&S One

Just curious, What do you prefer Vector points or surface points, and the pros and cons to them. Seems Vector points seem to have a lot of flaws. ...04-05-2006, 03:09 PM

I understand that a vector point has a vector associated with it and a surface point does not, but when would you use one rather than the other?

Once again, excuse my "noobness". I have a panel and the gd&t is calling out for profile on edge points and surface points. What I'm wondering...12-15-2016, 01:34 PM
