Angle Between Cone and Circle Question


---
 Share

Recommended Posts

1. Top Circle is a Cone
2. Smaller circle is a circle on a bushing at a lower level Z level than the cone.

I created a a theoretical line going in Y+ from my alignment.

Now Do i use a 3d line from cone to circle or 2d line ? Should i use recall or recall feature ?

3. Using angle between features to find the value.

Is this method correct?

I'm assuming this is the "circle on cone" feature - if it's actually a cone feature then the rest of the question doesn't exactly make sense.

3D line. 2D line is only when you're scanning the edge of something. 3D is useful when connecting connecting centerpoints like this.
Use recall, not recall feature points.

I can't tell without seeing the print.

You might have to project lines to a common plane. Calypso gives you the composite angle when using angle between features, projecting to a common plane will give you the 2d angle. The plane can be theoretical to an alignment system, looks like you just need a theoretical Y Plane to project to.
