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 the subentity of the coordinate system of the block as an argument. 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 the subentity of the coordinate system of the block as an argument.
None
Creates an Angle constraint instead of a Planar Angle constraint, without a third argument.
Geometry-driven
Accepts the current value and creates a geometry-driven constraint.
Note: The constraint value displays when hovering over the 3D angle constraint widget.
Note: You can set upper and lower bounds in the Mechanical Browser panel, which are taken into account in dynamic operations, like DMMOVE and ROTATE3D.
