A versatile measurement. This measurement can use either Points or Features. The user can also define vector directions to measure the features. For fast multiple Point-Nominal or Point-Point measure creation, please see Measure Generator. |
|
Center Distance Minimum Distance Maximum Distance |
This measure works similar to how CAD platforms measure features. 3DCS will measure the features the same and include tolerance deviation. This measure will measure the distance between two selected features in three modes: Center Distance, Minimum Distance and Maximum Distance. |
|
Is a measure that can report the minimum clearance, the maximum clearance, and the interference for one or more hole/pin assemblies. This function is used to determine the number of assemblies that cannot be built due to interference in their hole-pin match during assembly. |
||
This measure check the clearance between parallel set of holes and/or pins in an assembly. |
||
A different type of measure that uses features and measures between the features using the Mesh and Mesh nodes. May cause the Simulation to slow down if Mesh Density is set to a large value. |
||
The Combination measure can take multiple measures and add, subtract, show min or max values, or check if the measures are In-Spec. |
||
The purpose of the Equation measure is to create advanced equation-based measures without writing code in a separate user DLL. The routine calculates a measurement value based on the equations specified in Equations tab. |
||
|
A measurement used to check the angle of a Line to itself, a plane or another line. |
|
This measure allows for users to select multiple sets of points to measure between. |
||
Measures the variation of the Feature of Size to check the size variation. |
||
Measures a circular zone that contains a set of points. |
||
|
A measurement used to check the angle of a Plane to itself or to another plane. |
|
Measure the variation of a feature according to a GD&T callout relative to a datum reference frame. |

Point Distance
