Intersection on breakthrough hole


---
 Share

Recommended Posts

Hey guys. I am trying to figure out how to get the intersection of cylinder that breaks through at an 45 degree angle. It is an .135+/-.010 Dimension from the face to the intersection of the cylinder. I would like to know how I can get the correct measurement. The angle hole breaksthrough a circle and/or cylinder that is a knurl.

Please help. I will put an attachment of this dimension.

Thanks

It keeps saying media unavailable, it wouldn't play the video. Is there something I need to press on the powerpoint?

Measure the the Outside diameter and the hole diameter as cylinders and create an intersection between the two.

Choose the cylinders you created for the outside diameter and the hole as the features in the intersection.

On the OD make sure the 'shell' checkbox is checked, on the hole, do not check the 'shell' checkbox.

This will create an intersection of the Axis of the hole to the OD 'shell' of the part. You will need to make sure you choose the correct result as the angled hole can intersect the outside diameter in two places (if it were extended).

You should then be able to make a Cartesian distance between the intersection and the end face of the part.

I agree. It's kind of grown on me over the years. I'd almost rather see something like "Axis" and "Solid", but maybe even that wouldn't make sense for everyone.

The "shell" is the surface data that encompasses the feature volume. A solid would include the feature volume in the calculation. This dates back to CAD terminology and things like boolian operations and NURBS surfaces vs solids. There are different calculations for surfaces vs solids.
