DmAngle3d 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 you 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.)
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/Geometry-driven] <90.00>: (Either press Enter to accept the current value, type a new value, select reference entity, or create geometry-driven constraint.)
Hit the TAB key to select obscured geometry.

Description |
|
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). Prompts you: Select a cone face: - (Select the face of a cone.) Specify angle value [Geometry-driven] <xx.xx>: - (Either hit 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 [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 [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 you to manually specify the reference entity. Prompts you: Select reference entity [Keep as is/WOrld/BLock/None]:
|
|
Geometry-driven |
Accepts the current value and creates a geometry-driven constraint. |
