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?
ASSIGN/V1=5*(COS(DEG2RAD(50))*TAN(DEG2RAD(40))+SIN(DEG2RAD(50)))
ASSIGN/V2=MPOINT(SPH1.X,SPH1.Y,SPH1.Z+V1)
Then create a generic point with V2.X,V2.Y and V2.Z
