Plane Line Cylinder
From the MAIN menu, touch CONSTRUCT > PART SETUP > PLANE LINE
CYLINDER. Use this command to create a coordinate system on your part.
The plane defines the XY plane, the line defines the X-Axis, and the intersection
of the cylinder and the plane defines the origin of the coordinate system.
1 Choose an existing plane in the P
LANE drop-down list or touch the MEASURE
NOW icon to measure the plane:
• Place the ball probe on the part and digitize points by pressing the GREEN
button. You must digitize at least three points for a plane. Hold the RED
button to remove any unwanted points.
