Description

Creates an angle constraint between faces and/or edges of 3D solids, WCS subentities, and subentities of a coordinate system of a block. Creates a Planar Angle constraint by default: coordinate planes of the WCS are used as third reference objects whenever possible. It also allows to control the top angle of a cone. Press the TAB key to select obscured geometry.

Options

cone Angle constraint: Allows you to control the top angle of a cone by specifying the angle between the axis and the cone face (= cone half angle). Values must be smaller than 90°.

WOrld: Allows you to select the WCS subentity as an argument.

BLock: Allows you to choose, as an argument, the subentity of the coordinate system of the block. You can choose from: X axis/Y axis/Z axis/XY plane/YZ plane/ZX plane.

Set reference entity

Allows you to manually specify the reference entity:

Keep as is: allows you to keep the proposed reference object;

WOrld: allows you to select the WCS subentity as an argument;

BLock: allows you to choose as an argument the subentity of the coordinate system of the block;

None: creates Angle constraint instead of Planar Angle constraint, without third argument.

Geometry-driven: Accepts the current value and creates a geometry-driven constraint.
