Hello so I’m really new to PC-Dmis. I have been working with some pieces but I’ve recently been asked to measure a diameter on a cylinder. But I have some doubts on how to approach this. I have attached a “drawing” I’ve made on my phone’s Notes app for “privacy” reasons hehe. On the picture, I want to measure the diameter of the blue circle.
My questions:
1. Do I need to align the part? If so, how do I do that? I’ve only worked with 3-2-1 alignments but I’m not sure if this would be ok with a cylinder since there is not a place where to place a line.
2. If the 3-2-1 alignment is not the answer, how would I align it?
3. Do I even need to align it? Or can I simply go straight to touch some points of the feature I want to measure and then measure the diameter on the software?
I have tried to measure it with a caliper but there’s too much variation.
Thank you, I hope you can help me.
