Creates an angle constraint between faces and/or edges of 3D solids, WCS subentity, subentity of the coordinate system of the block. Creates a Planar Angle constraint by default: coordinate planes of the WCS are used as third reference object whenever possible. Allows to control the top angle of a cone.

Prompts you in the command bar:
Select first entity or specify [cone Angle constraint/World/Block]: (Select a face or an edge.)
Entities/subentities in set: 1
Select second entity [WOrld/BLock]: (Select a face or an edge or select an option.)
Specify angle value (reference: Global XY plane) or [Set reference entity] <90.00>: (Either press Enter to accept the current value, type a new value, or select reference entity.)

Description |
|
cone Angle constraint |
Allows to control the top angle of a cone by specifying angle between the axis and the cone face (= cone half angle); prompts you: Select a cone face: - (Select the face of a cone.) Specify angle value <xx.xx>: - (Either press Enter to accept the current value or type a new value. Values must be greater than 0° and smaller than 90°.) |
|
World |
Allows you to select the WCS subentity as an argument; prompts you: Select reference coordinate system subentity [Origin/X axis/Y axis/Z axis/XY plane/YZ plane/ZX plane]: - (Select a reference coordinate system subentity as an argument.) |
|
Block |
Allows you to choose as an argument the subentity of the coordinate system of the block; prompts you: Select block reference - (Select a block reference of which the reference coordinate system will be used as an argument.) Select reference coordinate system subentity [Origin/X axis/Y axis/Z axis/XY plane/YZ plane/ZX plane] - (Select a reference coordinate system subentity as an argument.) |
| Set reference entity |
Allows to manually specify the reference entity; prompts you: Select reference entity [Keep as is/WOrld/BLock/None]: 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 Planar Angle constraint, without third argument. |
