Measure the radius of a curve?
Measure the radius of a curve?
(OP)
Is there a way to measure the radius of a curve?
I have a curve made using insert curve from XYZ points. The points were generated using a MicroScribe MX digitizer.
I realize that a curve may or may not be part of a circle, but can a segment be measured or take an average.....or something?
Also, can anyone guide me to some reference material on ways to use the digitizer with SolidWorks.
Thanks,

RE: Measure the radius of a curve?
You may be able to obtain approx radii by sketching over sections of the 'curve' with a true radius and then measuring that.
I have never used a digitizer with SW.
