Using the new curve option for Point Deviation, I noticed that the evaluation does not update when manipulating the input curve. Is that intended? Furthermore I would like to propose adding visible Min And Max indicators to the tool. That way the tool could also be used to take actual measurements! …

[image] Cadworx: ut the sideway lines are still visible. Can you please post a file what shows this? I am not sure I am looking at the right thing. -Pascal

I’m not sure if I am allowed to share data at all, I might have to get a permission first. However the surface was just a simple corner fillet as shown below, the main surfaces have some overcrowning. Maybe you can reproduce that. [Corner fillet] [Bug]

OK, thanks, I’ll have a try. BTW, for the scaling - I can’t see a good reason to go one way or the other - should the extensions shoot past the curve, or the surface side of the display? And for Curve-Curve, Curve 1, or Curve 2? -Pascal

I think currently the direction is determined by what object is picked first. The hairlines start from there. But it is a good question regarding general behavior. Any deeper sorting logic would probably only be necessary if the Anaylsis uses several pairs simultaneously. I will check tomorrow how…

Curve-curve can go how ever we want, it will pretty much work automatically, but curve-surface works differently internally and it would be simpler (and I think, clearer) to decide on either the curve or the surface being skewered by the lines. If you have a preference, shout - right now, my test sh…

I assume Curve/Curve is identical to Curve/Edge. And by Curve/Surface you mean “inside” the surface? Then yes, hairlines from the surface through the curves sounds good for now.

Hello Pascal, regarding the different cases I think the Edge/Edge case should be added after all. It is covered by the Edge Continuity Analysis as it is a Continuity Condition, but it also has a Distance. I can think of no good reason why a tool called “Distance Analysis” would not cover all cases…

In my current hack, the DrawCurveCurveDeviation should accept two surface edges. -Pascal

@Cadworx , @eobet - updated above… Added crude scaling to the curve-surface checker, curve-curve does not have it yet. Options for scaling, text format and sample count at the initial prompt. With pre-selection, you do not get these options, currently but: Added a new command DeviationDisplayOptio…

Hello Pascal, all your updates work beautifully! I love how you added adaptive colors to the Deviation Comb! Also the curve on the Comb is nice! Thank you for considering that! [Adaptive_Colors] I have also checked the behavior for the Comb direction. Curve/Curve, Edge/Edge is whatever gets p…

Enhancement: Add "Real Time" Measurements to PointDeviation

Hi Pascal,

Would it be possible to do point to point deviation in addition to the other options ?
