XOV, the world’s leading inspection package, is capable of importing many neutral CAD formats. In addition, CAD interfaces can be added to XOV to improve the fidelity of inspecting physical objects to your original CAD parts.
One such interface is for Pro/E Wildfire. With the Pro/E interface, you can open the PRT files from Pro/E directly. [...]

In XOV, you can obtain several types of inspection results, such as deviation maps, section profiles, etc. during the inspection process. However, the results will be recorded as captured images. If, instead, you want to print out sections at their true scale, you can export them via the *.dxf file format.
Method:
First of all, you can [...]

Problem
Measuring the thickness of an object like a propeller has generally been a tedious process that is difficult to repeat consistently.
The traditional thickness measurement process goes something like this:

Mark each blade to define cylindrical (or conic) cross sections

Using a flexible ruler, measure several points along each cross section (top and bottom), marking each one

Using [...]
