To construct a circle on a cone at a given height

Use the Circle on Cone at Height item to construct a circle at a specified distance along a cone's axis. The distance is measured from the cone's apex.

To create a Circle on Cone at Height item:

  1. Open a Geometric group in the Sequence Tree.
  2. Click Geometry tab > Features panel > Circles > Circle on Cone at Height.

The Circle on Cone at Height dialog contains the following areas:

Name — Enter a name for the item. The name is used in the inspection sequence, in the Report and Info tabs, and when referencing the item in other items.

Use nominals — Select this check box to enter or change the item nominals, and to compare the item measurements to their nominal values. Deselect this check box to disable comparisons with the item nominals.

When this check box is selected, an in-tolerance or out-of-tolerance indicator is displayed on the measured item's icon in the inspection sequence; the border of the item label is coloured to indicate whether the measurements are within tolerance; and the tolerance, nominal, deviation, and error values of the item are shown in the report.

When this check box is deselected, the Nominal boxes are disabled, no tolerance indicators are displayed and no tolerance, nominal, deviation, and error values are shown in the report for this item.

Note: To load the nominals from the CAD model, click and select From CAD Entity. To replace the nominals with the item's measurements in the current Measure, click the button and select From Active Measure.

Visible — Select this check box to display the item in the CAD view.

Output in report — Select this check box to include the item in the report.

Coordinate system — Select the alignment relative to which the item's measurements are to be reported.

To specify the alignment during the inspection, select <Active Alignment>. You can then select the alignment from the Active alignment list, or by adding an Active Alignment item to the inspection sequence.

Distance from apex — Enter the distance from the cone's apex at which you want to construct the circle.

Cut entity — Select the cone from which you want to construct the circle.

Note: Click to select an item from the CAD view using the mouse.

Centre — Enter the nominal and tolerances for the position of the circle centre.

Diameter — Enter the nominal and tolerances for the Radius or Diameter of the circle.

Click OK to close the dialog and save your changes.
