for a while now ive been working on a tranny adapter flange project, and eventualy i got tired of measuring out the distances between holes by hand, constantly having to adjust holes again and again … as accuracy in important otherwise the input shaft will never be centered in the crank
so i dropped the tranny off at Springville Mfg, and had them toss it on their robotic measuring table, one business day later i had a file with all the holes plotted in x&y from center
overlayed it with the other bolt pattern which i already had, rotated the patterns into proper alignment, drew out the edges i needed, and sent it off for plasma cutting
heres the undrilled flange

It probably would have been cheaper to send it to China. 🙂

Next time you need to measure something planar like that, LMK… I am really good at making measurements like that using calipers and inventor…
inventor sketch is better than acad, because it allows a flexible model that just keeps getting parameters input until it becomes fully constrained…
But AWDrifter is a good dude.
