Measuring X-Axis Distances

 

RevWorks, along with your digitizer, provides an X Distance function for measuring the x-axis distance between two points.

Warning: When using this function with a ball tipped probe compensation for the ball radius is not taken into account.

To Measure the X-Axis Distance

  1. From the RevWorks toolbar, select ,
    or select     Measure > 2 Points > X Distance from the RevWorks menu, in SOLIDWORKS.

A prompt appears leading you through the data collection steps.

  1. Digitize two points.

RevWorks places the derived x-axis measurement on the clipboard. You can easily copy it to a field in any SOLIDWORKS dialog box, or to any other place that accepts text input.

    Note: The distance value placed on the clipboard is the distance between the two points along the x-axis in part coordinates.
