I’m looking to using fixed radius option when measuring an arc in two cases, because I cannot achieve repeatability otherwise.
First, I need to measure an arc that is a clearance path. There are 8 positions, half of them is possible to measure fairly all-right, the other half, because of the difficult access to it, I am measuring an arc of less than 45 degrees. As a result, the position has no reasonable repeatability. Therefore, I tried the fixed radius option, and the results are much more consistent as you can imagine. Now, from the posts I have read in forum, I understand I need to report the radius. What exactly it means? I still show the position of the circle AND the radius?
The other situation is, I’m measuring a very small arc plus it is a very rough casted area. The repeatability is nowhere close to be good.
Can you tell if fixed radius is a good option in these cases and how to achieve it?
Many thanks
