The purpose of this module is to allow parts or features to be translated, rotated or transformed by a specific amount. This amount can be a specified as a constant value or a calculated value from a measurement.
Common Inputs:Object Points Area: Input Object Points or Features Target Points Area: Input Target Points or Features Strings tab: Add 1 or more input Strings to the tolerance. Measures tab: Add 1 or more measures, if optionally used in the Measure. Values tab: Add 1 or more Constants/Value, if required by the tolerance. Direction Area: Enter Direction Number and specify all directions as needed Measure parameters: Edit the Spec Limits, Spec Mode, and Scale of the measure.

Feature to Feature Minimum Measure (dcsFeat2FeatMinMs)
To facilitate the verification of the move routine dcsFeatRotateMv, a feature-based measure, as a User DLL measure routine is added. Description:•Measure the minimum distance between two features. Input:•Object Features: Feature is required. Provides an infinite Measure Plane {Plane Point, Plane Direction}. •Target Features: Feature is required. •Scale (Optional). Add a scale to multiply the measure output by a scale. Output:•The minimum distance from all meshed Points on the Group2-Feature to the Measure Plane along the Plane Direction. Calculation Methods:•Measures the minimum distance, which is calculated by Least-Square High Point Method. |

Measure Distance from Circle to a Point (dcsMsDistanceFromCircleToPoint)
Measures the distance from a circle to a point. This routine is used with the move routine, 'dcsMvLocatePtAtTorusMinorCnt', to measure the Torus Profile deviation. Input:•From Feature (Group1): one Fr-Point associated with a circle. •To Feature (Group2): one To-Point on a surface. Output:•The distance between the circle at Fr-Point and To-Point will be calculated. The calculation direction is from Fr-Point to To-Point. The distance could be either positive or negative. (If multiple pairs of Fr-Points and To-Points are presented, the distance with maximum magnitude is reported.)

Measure Distance between Points with a Diameter (dcsMsDistanceFromCircleToCircle)
Measure the distance from circle1 to circle2, from center, minimum edge, or maximum edge. This routine is used for verifying GD&T dimensioning location applied on the edge of a size feature. Input: •From Feature (Group1): a Point with circle1. •To Feature (Group2): a Point with circle2 Direction: One Direction is optional. Extra Parameters (Values tab): 1.Circle1 Flag = 0 (center, default); = 1 (min edge); = 2 (max edge) 2.Circle2 Flag = 0 (center, default); = 1 (min edge); = 2 (max edge) Output: The distance between circle 1 and circle 2 will be calculated. Optionally, the distance can be calculated along a Direction. The calculated distance is adjusted by the corresponding radius based on the circle flag for center, min edge, or max edge. (If multiple pairs of Group1-Points and Group2-Points are presented, the distance with maximum magnitude is reported.)

Measure Angle between two Feature Directions (dcsMsDir2DirOnPlaneAngle)
Measure the angle (degree) between two feature directions. The routine is used for verifying plane-plane constraint. Input: •From Feature (Group1): one Fr-Feature; providing Direction1 •To Feature (Group2): one To-Feature; providing Direction2 Direction: Optional Angle Plane Normal for Projected on-plane angle; if direction is not specified, Extra Parameters (Values tab): 1.Direction2 Scalar: Optional direction scalar = 1.0 (default) or -1.0 Output: Calculate the angle (degree) from Fr-Feature to To-Feature, optionally projected on the Angle Plane.

Measure Distance between Plane and Point (dcsMsDistanceBetweenPlaneAndPoint)
Measure the distance between a point and a plane. One direction is option. This routine is used to verify a point contacting a plane; e.g. the object secondary plane is touching the target secondary plane. Input: •From Feature (Group1): Plane Feature (Average if multiple) •To Feature (Group2): Point Feature (Average if multiple) Direction: One Direction is optional Output: Calculate the distance between the Plane and Point along a direction; use the plane associated direction if no direction is specified; use the specified direction if a direction is specified.

Measure Distance between All Points (dcsMsDistanceBetweenAllPoints)
Measure the distance between all points. If a surface is selected, all surfaces nodes will be used. The direction is allowed. Input: •From Feature (Group1): Group1 Features •To Feature (Group2): Group2 Features Direction: One Direction is optional. Extra Parameters (Values tab): 1.Minimum Calculation if Value1 = 0 or not specified. Maximum Calculation if Value1 = 1 2.Distance along Direction if Value2 = 0 or not specified. Distance on Plane with Direction if Value2 = 1 Output: Calculate the distance between all points.

Measure Clearance between Pin and Holes (dcsMsClearanceBetweenPinAndHoles)
Measure the clearance between one pin and holes. It is used to verify the pin properly located within holes in a pattern move either “Fixed Fastener” or “Float Fastener”. Input: •From Feature (Group1): Pin Feature •To Feature (Group2): Hole Features •Direction: One Direction is optional; used as Clearance Plane Output: Calculate the clearance between pin and holes.
