Measuring a Circle Feature

Select the parent process of the circle measurement. 

On the toolbar, select the black arrow at the bottom of the Measure Generic.

A new toolbar appears beneath Measure Generic

You may not see  Measure Generic on the Inspection Activities toolbar because the toolbar shows either Measure Generic (the initial default) or the last measure feature command used.  If, for instance, you last measured a line, you see Measure Line icon instead of Measure Generic. If you see Measure Circle on the Inspection Activities toolbar, you can simply click on the center of the icon and not on the black triangle.  The Measure Circle feature command is activated without recourse to the Measure Feature Activities sub-toolbar..

Click Measure Circle in the Measure Feature Activities sub-toolbar:

Select the circle feature.

The Measure Circle dialog box appears.

The default values are computed from the Knowledgeware rules provided with the product.

Use the spinner to raise the number of points in the feature path to 6. 

Click OK. 

The activity is added to the process list on the PPR tree.

The measured circle appears on the part geometry:

Repeat Steps 3-4 in the Define Circle procedure with a second circle.

In the Define Circle dialog box, select the Create FPath check box, then click OK.

In this case, two activities have been created in the PPR tree:  Define Circle and Measure Circle.

The path for the second measured circle appears on the geometry.  Note the difference in measurement path made by the default number of measurement points (4) created using the Create FPath option in the Define Circle dialog box versus selecting more points using the Measure Circle box.
