I don't understand the task you describe (scribed lines on a worm gear) but in general you can locate by eye pretty easily by centering the sharp pointer from a wiggler set, bringing it very close to your scribed line, and centering it over the line with a loupe. You can get easily within .001 inch. I doubt using a webcam will give you better results but it sure is more complicated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
