Hi All,

Using PC DMIS CAD 2019 R1....

How do I properly find this breakout point? Its the intersection of the top plane & the ID RAD 0.125.

Currently, I have the line (pretty straight forward) and I have the arc (measured using FIXED RAD PC DMIS small arc method). The vectors of my features are pointing at one another and I am in an appropriate workplane.

My overall goal:
Find this point...and then.. "copy & paste with pattern" that code & then construct the points into a CIR_97. I know how to work with pattern-ing...just not how to get the actual point.

Heres what I have so far:

make your line, pointing away from your circle and then make a intersecting point choosing line and circle. switch the order of LIN4

Sweet that worked, thanks!
