How do I calculate this angle?

Hello all, I'm trying to get Calypso to spit out this angle, but I'm having a hard time. Normally I'd create an intersection at the plane/cone and compare that to the flat plane, but Calypso won't allow a cone to circle or cone to cylinder (at least in the manner I'd like to create the intersection).

I want this callout 2084_d87bec840e137951b99c4e2e11a01108.png
but the part is rounded and looks like this: 2084_490fd31eea853dd73dce2a07f599f09f.png
I'm sure there's a fairly simple solution, but I'm having a hell of a time so far 🤣

Use the plane referenced as spatial in secondary alignment.
Measure chamfer as cone in that alignment. Constrain vector.
Then use Result element to (formula) subtract cone included angle from 180 degree.

If the part has good from this will probably be easier than getting a line from that distance.

You might have to tinker with (deg) in formula to convert from radians if using feature info. I think if you use characteristic it may report in those units without conversion.

In CAD > Create Features > Section tab, create section line at center of diameter. Then, under Create tab, select the yellow section line and click line button. Due to the length of the line, you will probably need to scan very slowly, with a lot of points.

Then, angle between features, using line and end face.
