[Ja...] Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I have done this before, but I can't remember how I did it. I need to create a circle Ø.186 to get my .749 dimension. I do not have a solid model. I have the two planes that form the V, but I can't remember how to align the circle to them. Any help would be appreciated.

[Ja...] Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 If you create two lines from the planes then you can use tangent circle. Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/13592-circle-on-2-planes/#findComment-69662 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ja...] Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 I was able to create lines using an intersection and each plane, so that worked. I can't figure out how to create a line just using a plane. Is there an easy way to do that?

[Jo...] Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 offset each plane the radius distance, and they will intersect at the circle centerline. You can place a theo plane at each end and get intersection in both places. You can then make a theo circle with formula using those coordinates, or result element and do the math.

[Ja...] Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Please sign in to view this quote. That's what I would do is intersect the planes with the plane that's perpendicular to it to get lines. You could do it on both ends. I think offsetting the planes like John mentioned works too.
