Finding the center position of a hole on a diameter

[pnwenz89]

Problem: I have a shaft between centers with a 4mm hole on the diameter that we are measuring. we are trying to measure the center position of this hole. the position is supposed to be 0.00. I am currently clocking the part with the hole pointing up at 12 o'clock. Then, I come over in DCC mode and probe the hole. My origin is set at the cone tip. with Y AXIS running down the center of the part. I have been struggling to get a a measurement for center position. Any tips on how to approach this would be great.

Measure he hole as a cylinder.

Rotate align the cylinder to Z about Y axis. then call out the position.

I am really new at this and our cmm guy left, could you explain what the rotate align is. I am not using any CAD models either. Just a physical part.

Can you post a print/code?

[pnwenz89]

here is everything i have as far as a measured feature. I will upload the code

Here is picture of the hole

First you have to establish a manual alignment, before going into DCC. This helps the machine know where the part is. Then make a DCC alignment with more hits on each feature you create. Both alignments must lock down all 6 degrees of freedom. On your DCC alignment fix your vector hits.
