Analyze Angle dialog box
Use the Analyze Angle dialog box to analyze the angles between two lines or three points that you select in the graphics window. Mastercam displays values as the first and angle and the second angle. Angles are measured counterclockwise and will always total 360 degrees.
There are cases where the information from the lines being measured is too ambiguous for the system to discern the correct values. These cases can be simplified by using the 3-point method and explicitly defining the angle.
In addition to choosing a method for selecting entities (two lines or three points), you can also choose a method for measuring the angle:
- Cplane: Shows the angle based on the current Cplane.
- 3D: Shows the actual angle of the lines in the plane they define. If the lines do not lie in the same plane and do not intersect, only the Cplane option is available; the 3D option is grayed out.
