Accuracy in finding intersection of lines and surfaces.
Accuracy in finding intersection of lines and surfaces.
(OP)
I run into this occasionally, and can't find a solution to it.
Please see the attached image. Briefly, the problem is that I am placing datum points at the intersection of a line and a curved surface. The result is clearly not the intersection...it is quite a ways off. I have my display quality in ProE W4 set to 10 (maximum) and my accuracy should be plenty (relative or absolute).
Thanks for any replies!

This is a bummer, because any part file will only give you a certain range of accuracy to work with. So if you need to copy something from that file into a "host" file, often times its accuracy cannot be made to land within the allowable range of the file it is being imported into.
