To Create a Parallel Plane

By using the Parallel option, you can creates a Constructed Plane through a point and parallel to a plane.

1. Click Inspect >

Plane. The CMM Construct tab opens.

2. Select the parent reference Csys from the Parent Csys drop-down list.

3. Select Parallel from the Type drop-down list.

4. Select two measure or construct steps in following order:

a. First, specify a reference point. Select a measure or construct step of the following types:

▪ Point

▪ Circle (center)

▪ Cone (cone vertex)

▪ Sphere (center)

The new constructed plane passes through the selected step.

b. Next, specify the second reference. Select a measure or construct step of type plane. The new constructed plane is parallel to the selected step.

5. Click OK.
