Scanning again

How do I remove this line shown in yellow. Trying to scan across 3 or 4 radius and not sure what boundary type I use. I cut plane my model so I can keep my scan straight. I find nominal first and generate the path and then switch it to master. Thanks.

IGNORE IT, all it is is the shortest distance between your click-points, it should go away when you generate the scan. If you look, you'll see one going from 1 to D and from D to 2

I did ignore it and when I generated the line it's still there and after I created profile, Then a analysis it shows up in the view. I haven't measure a actual part this is all trial and error. When creating this scan what about the boundary type. Does that matter.

[Matthew D. Hoedeman]

linear open, use a plane, 1 crossing.

Only other thing I can think of is that your cut plane doesn't have the same vector as the cad-cut you made.

Is your path generating around the rads when you hit generate. It appears to me that it is not... try shortening the path then hit generate if it shows the path around the first rad then try to extend the path a little more. If you need more help try reaching out to me. I could always remote in to help you

Maybe, JUST maybe, it is NOT seeing the cad data it needs to see to generate the scan. After you cut the cad, and select your 1-D-2 points, maybe you need it to show all the cad again, and you need to select the cad data on both sides of the line, tell it "USE SELECTED" and generate.

I will give it a shot after a meeting and get back with you guys. thanks

Working on this trying to figure out how to hold it to use the A0B0 tip angle only. So I come up with a another question is it possible to measure like 3 sets of small scans with different tip angles and then combine them into a single scan that covers my whole area. Just throwing this out there.

[Rich P]

yes..constructed feature sets

scans or points grouped together for each scan will report the Max/Min based on the T values which is sum of the squares deviation, of the feature set. Different probe angles are not an issue unless there is a probe calibration problem for the angles.

Or maybe use the clip plane to create a section cut curve, show the full model and scan along the section cut.

Still working on this and I will let everyone know the outcome.

I have the scans setup like the 1st comment picture and when I went to run the scans, which will be 2 scans to complete. It seems it's trying to scan the scans from the inside out of the part but the screen display really looks like its on the outside surface. Also have a error which i'm not at my machine to type word for word but something to the affect of " Your increments are smaller than the scan density points"
And for this type of scan is Linear Open Scan the right scan to attack this from. It's driving me bat ****.

OK, in your opt probe setup (I think) you have a scan density set, but in your scan, you are using a density larger (more points per mm) than your opt probe settings.

EDIT ~ GRAPHICS DISPLAY WINDOW ~ CAD VECTORS... Select all the surfaces and see which way the little vector lines are pointing. You probably have some pointing "inside" and some pointing "outside", either flip the bad ones or try "FIX VECTOR"

[AuRules]

I will try that Matthew. It will be just a while before I can try that out. To much stuff not enough me to inspect it.

[AuRules]

Got the vector direction going in the right way but still I have the point density issue and now the POS wants to take individual points instead of scan. Might have something to do with the point density
