Cone Diameter on Cylinder

I might try creating a theoretical plane at the radius value of the cylinder. Then, using the cone calculation on the plane.

So, let's assume cylinder is .750 dia and the view shown is facing +Z. Create a plane feature. Go to Options and select Theoretical Feature. Enter .375 in the Z Nominal field. Right- click in the Z Actual field and select Formula. In the middle column, locate the cylinder and in the right column, locate the radius. Double-click on the radius item and it will put the formula to extract the actual radius of the cylinder and use it as the actual Z value of the plane.
Hey Adrian,
Good to hear from you. Hope Eaton is treating you well. You finish school? You still with your lady? Small world out there. Hope you're staying safe during all this pandemic stuff.

Lots of really smart people on this forum so you're at the right place. Lots of fun trying to measure a CS on a tube, huh? Glad you got it figured out.

Stay safe,
Robert
Yeah, I finished but I might go back to get an MBA or Master's in Information Studies. Not sure yet. Yeah, we are still together and we are married now. Yeah we are staying safe, and hope your family is doing good and staying safe as well.

This forum is a great resource for to learn new things, and programming.

Not sure where you are headed with your sketch... This is where we measure the diameter. I suppose Calypso could do it with some fancy formulas. In a pinch, placing a go or no-go gage pin would suffice.

If this is a Y14.5 print, then the callout means the smallest diameter, unless noted otherwise.

"4.5.13 Chamfered and Countersunk Holes on
Curved Surfaces
Where a hole is chamfered or countersunk on a curved
surface, the diameter specified applies at the minor
diameter of the chamfer or countersink. See Figure 4-38."

I believe this is specified this way by default for countersinking fasteners. By specifying the minor diameter, you can use the same countersink diameter as on a flat surface and still know that the entire fastener is below the curved surface.
