I usually end up checking this on the surface plate but I wonder there is a good way to check this on the CMM . I want to check the location of the intersection of the flange and the radius. The red line on the screen shot. Since the arc is only partial dia, I think I going to need to do this on the surface plate.
How can I do this?

I'm tried this many times but have had little success getting good or consistent readings. I usually use a video system if possible or the plate method as you mentioned....good lucksigpic.....Its called golf because all the other 4 letter words were taken

but on a CMM, you could use very short line segments to find the measurement.
A side note: When you post, use a title that describes the problem. This helps the search function to work better and many times after you post the forum will list similar posts at the bottom that might answer your question... Posts with titles such BEER are of course, self-explanatory.

Vision system is probably best thing. If you need to use CMM there is a method that works very well, better than short line segments. Depending on the size of the partial arc you may or may not be able to grab it but it is worth understanding at any rate,
