Use the Depth Information dialog to view, or modify, information about the depth of a line, arc or circle when working in CAD mode.
To display the Depth Information dialog, click the Depth Info button on the Arc Info, Circle Info or Line Info dialog.
The following settings are available:
Top Z — This field displays the Z coordinate of the top of the geometry element. If necessary, you can change this value.
Bottom Z — This field displays the Z coordinate of the bottom of the geometry element. If necessary, you can change this value.
OK — Click to save your changes and close the dialog.
Cancel — Click to close the dialog without saving your changes.
Pre-set Group Parameters — Click to use the values on this dialog to pre-set some group parameters for profile groups or hole groups:
- For Profile Groups, PartMaker uses the values on the Depth Information dialog to pre-set values on the Profile Group Parameters dialog for Mill XY Plane and Mill 5 Axis Plane as follows:
- the Top Z value is used to set the Z_Surf(S) value.
- the value of Top Z minus Bottom Z is used to set the Z_Depth(D) value.
- For Hole Groups, PartMaker uses the values on the Depth Information dialog to pre-set values on the Hole Group Parameters dialog as follows:
- the Top Z value is used to set the Z_Surf(S) value.
- the value of Top Z minus Bottom Z is used to set the Nominal Depth(D) value.
