TRUE POSITION FROM HOLE PATTERN

Can we see a pic? I would like to see -D- on the print.

I'd construct a circle from the 6 circles(holes). Make that an origin. Dimension location (TP) from there.

I agree with John, center of the best fit circle as origin. Just watch out for rotation. If it is diametral TP you may need a rotation feature.

the holes are in a rectangular pattern not circular

You can always do a 2D best fit using all 6, or construct a feature set from them and use the mathmatical center as the origin.

Can you scan that section and insert?

Thanks for the help
always appreciated

Cool that seems to work
i created a constructed set which came up as scan1
then i used scan1 as x y zero in new alignment
thanks again

Feature set is the way I'd go too. Kudos to JTenemen.
