  • Tangent from 2 lines

    I need to setup a diameter of 1.360" tangent to 2 lines... i have tried and tried to figure it out by myself and keep failing ....
    Anybody got the scoop on this please help

    Construct a circle. Choose tangent 2 lines in drop down. Enter the gage circle diameter in the box. Create.

        Is your workplane correct?

        If it is, you might need to construct reverse lines from your lines to flip the direction of them. There are 4 possible locations for the circle to end up, so if PC-DMIS is putting it in the wrong location, you may need to reverse 1 or both of the lines to get it to construct in the correct location

      I had to change the work plane to x plus and reverse lines but i got it.
      Thanks for the help

        The vector of the lines and the order you select them in will dictate where the tangent circle is constructed. Glad you got it.
