When dimensioning the distance between a line and a circle I am getting 2 different answers. If I do line to circle it is 6.2 mm longer than if I do circle to line. When I first programmed it I did line to circle and the dimension was out of tolerance so I went to engineering thinking I had a bad cad file. They checked out the cad file and said it was good so I started playing around with my program, trying different things when I came across this situation. Why would it matter what feature I choose first if everything else is the same??? Has anyone else seen this before?

When you do LINE to CIRCLE, it uses the CENTER point of the line to the center point of the circle, when you do CIRCLE to LINE, it does the shortest distance, circle, perp to line, not to line center.sigpic

I tried several things. I rotated to the line and set the 0,0 in the circle, and still get 2 different answers. I did a distance between the 2 and also did location of line. Location was good and so was distance if I did circle first.
My opinion is they should calculate them the same no matter what order you use.

I believe the software should be written to re-evaluate the first element once the second element is chosen so you get the same answer regardless of order.
Exactly. Otherwise is stupid.
