To Create a Normal Plane

By using the Normal option, you can create a Constructed Plane through a point and normal to a line or axis.

1. Click Inspect >

Plane. The CMM Construct tab opens.

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

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

4. Select two measure or construct steps in the 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 a line. Select a measure or construct step of the following types:

▪ Line

▪ Cylinder (axis)

▪ Cone (cone axis)

The new constructed plane is normal to the selected step.

5. Click OK.
