I am trying to take a measurement from the apex of a constructed 100 degree cone tangent to a measured sphere. I'll attach an image to give an idea of what I'm tryin g to do. Can this be done in PC-DMIS?
I would recommend doing this using several 2D evaluations. You can take a line on each side of your cone and then click Insert> Feature> Constructed> Circle. From the dropdown select "Tangent 2 Lines". Key in your gage ball diameter and dimension the circle to the cone vertex, add radius. I would also recommend doing this at a minimum in both X and Y workplanes
