rotate probe while measuring cylinder

Hello,

I'm learning power inspect now and I have a problem.

I want to measure a cylinder, but the stem of the probe is short. To get to the bottom of the hole, I have to rotate the probe in both A and B directions. To measure it in a circle, I need to rotate the probe around the B axis while measuring the cylinder. How can I rotate the probe between each tactile position while measuring the cylinder?

Hi szazvai and welcome to the PowerInspect Forum.

 

The way to do this is not to measure the feature as a circle/cylinder but to measure separate point features where the probe angle can be adjusted for each point. With the separate point features created you can create a circle/cylinder etc using the point sources tab and selecting the pints you want to use to make the circle/cylinder.
