Purpose

Create an instruction of control of a form tolerance.

The instruction will be TOL/PROFS or TOL/PROFL or TOL/PROFP in the DMIS file.

Definition of the form tolerance :

The tolerance area  is limited with a cylinder of diameter (if sign diameter is present) equal to the given tolerance, of which the axis is in the in theory exact position of the considered line.

 

Understanding the function

It's necessary to select at least one element, and without limit for the maximum of elements.

Every element is a measure (measure of point, section, 3d, line, circle, cylinder, plane).

If the selected element is a measure 3d or on a surface, the DMIS output will be like TOL / PROF.S

If the selected element is a measure of section, line, the DMIS output  will be like  TOL / PROFL

If the selected element is a measure of point, the DMIS output will be like TOL / PROFP

NB: If the machine does not accept the instruction TOL / PROF.S, it's enough to explode the measure 3d (by using the menu Edit / Explode) to obtain a multitude of measures of point, and then to create a form tolerance by selecting the set of the measures of point (with the icon). So exit DMIS will be the type TOL / PROFP.

 

How to use

  1. Select the menu "Control | Geometrical | Form" or click on   icon.

  2. Select the elements to tolerance  (measure of point, section, 3d, line, circle, cylinder, plane). It's possible to use the icon to select more than one element. If several elements are selected, it have to be of the same type.

  3. A dialog box appears. Modify some parameters if necessary and confirm .
