Constructed Circle (gage pin simulation)

Sorry this has probably been brought up before, but I am wondering how to construct this circle (or cylinder) to simulate a gage pin? Either lines or planes and then either a cylinder or a circle (I am open to either 3D or 2D features).

  • I would construct a generic plane parallel to B at 0.197, another one parallel to C at the same distance, then intersect them.
    The line of the intersection is the axis of the searched cylinder, 0.197 is its radius...

    PL1 is datum B, PL2 is datum C
    ASSIGN/P1=PL1.XYZ-0.197*PL1.IJK
    ASSIGN/P2=PL2.XYZ+0.197*PL2.IJK
    F1 =GENERIC/PLANE,DEPENDENT,CARTESIAN,$
    NOM/XYZ,<P1.X,P1.Y,P1.Z>,$
    MEAS/XYZ,<P1.X,P1.Y,P1.Z>,$
    NOM/IJK,<PL1.I,PL1.J,PL1.K>,$
    MEAS/IJK,<PL1.I,PL1.J,PL1.K>
    F2 =GENERIC/PLANE,DEPENDENT,CARTESIAN,$
    NOM/XYZ,<P2.X,P2.Y,P2.Z>,$
