[Da...] Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago I browsed a few posts but could not find a clear method to find the tangent angle for the characteristics shown in the screenshot. It's for a family of parts so I'd like to have a repeatable method. What's the best way to find report this?

[Ri...] Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago (edited) I recently did what you need. See attached image. Create a point at the center of the part (Theoretical, intersection, projection, etc). Scan the radius. Drop in a "Tangents" ----Construction, Tangents Select the Point and the Circle of your radius. P.s. I have an alignment that allows me to create the radius in the correct geometry location. (Trihedron showing =Z axis to center of Circle21). It seems like we are doing the same type of slot, my dims are quite similar to yours.

[Ma...] Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Can you make a theoretical circle from center and radius to center of groove's circle to intersection?

[Ma...] Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Please sign in to view this quote. That's why i proposed to make intersection of groove circle with groove central circle like this Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/27866-find-tangent-angle-of-a-slot-radius/#findComment-158218 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Da...] Posted 6 hours ago Author Share Posted 6 hours ago Please sign in to view this quote. Please sign in to view this quote. I tried these both and they each worked. I'm going to use point-tangent for this application. Thanks for the suggestions!
