Tangency Constraints
DimXpert for parts considers the effects tangencies between planes and cylinders have on dimensioning, tolerances, and constraint status. All DimXpert for parts functions support and consider tangency constraints.
| Tangency constraints exist where a plane and cylinder are adjacent. | ||
| Cylinder type features include boss, cylinder, and simple hole. | The angled plane and adjacent tangent cylinders are fully constrained. |
The Tangency annotation type appears in the DimXpertManager under the toleranced feature. Tangency annotation types have an origin feature and a tolerance feature.
| Plane3 | ||
| Tangency1 |
Tangency constraints are supported for pocket features. They are not created for fillet, notch, or slot features, which have a built-in implied tangency.
