Question

Getting coordinates for points on surfaces

Was it the easiest way for getting the xyz coordinates of a random point on a model?  I know how to get them from a vertice, but I haven't been able to find away to get it to work for say, the center of a curve or a face.

Some guesses:

(1) Go to File -> Options -> Entity Display, then check the "Edge Display Quality". Set it to "Very High".

(2) I've seen something like this when my section plane on a cylindrical object was, for whatever reason, not passing thru the axis of revolution of the object.

(3) Perhaps the accuracy of the part model is too high. Open the model and go to File -> Prepare -> Model Properties. Set the accuracy to Absolute and a small value (my default is 1.0E-05 inch). The model will regenerate, and it might resolve the difficulty.

    Try updating the drawing using drawing option update_drawing with value as all. 

    File > Prepare > Drawing Properties > Change detail options > Add option update_drawing  and value as all > Add/Change > Ok. 

     

    Select Review Tab > Update Sheets. 

    Check the drawing thoroughly before saving to avoid any unwanted changes. If everything looks good save the drawing.

    Hello Team

    My problem is solved I try with your ways to but my collague Paolo help me to.

    Take a look on his mesage:

     

    Dear Yavor,
    your problem is a bug of Creo. We have the same problem with old projects.
    You can to follow this method to adjust the drawing:

    Open the drw with a problem;
    Select "Sketch" bar
    Select "Use Edge" tool
    Activate "Parametric Sketch" and "Chain"
    Select and sx click on the radius hidden that you want; confirm with center click
    Repeat the point 5 for all radius that you want
    Finish

    I hope this method is effective for you.

     

     

    Thank you for you time Team.

     

    Best Regrads
