Hello!
I'm doing a table where I put coordinates to holes in a model. The table is going to be used for the CNC programming knowing where the hole begin. I have made the holes with the revolve command using a coordinate system to define the "start point".
My problem is when I'm calling for the dimension into the table I only get the value of the dimension. In the textbox I write for an example @d325 and get the measurement. But because I want to show the offset from the default coordinate system I need to get a value that show in wick direction its offset. Positive (235) or negative (-235) offset.
Are there any syntax I can add to my string to show positive or negative offset?
Hello Markus and welcome to the forum.
This might end up being a very manual process unless you use hole tables. I do not know enough about hole tables to comment much further.
Thank you for your awnser.
It's 16 different holes that I'm going to mark out, so the process will not take that long.
I have looked att hole tables but i need to show how the hole is oriented as well, by showing the twiat angle around Y and Z axis.
Looks like a manual process it is. Good luck!
