DEPENDENT LENGTH

Dependent length and dependent angle, discussed next, are slightly different because they are specifications for closed loops and must be created after closed loops are created.

DEPENDENT ANGLE
A dependent angle specification places a design specification on an angle in the vector loop.
Select angle's first vector:Select angle's second vector:
The two vectors must be in the same loop and connected with a common endpoint.
The tolerance can be specified once the second endpoint has been created. For GAP, Dependent LENgth, and DEPendent angles, the tolerance can be applied in one of three ways: symmetrical, nonsymmetrical, or by max/min limits. The last two options can be selected from the default SymTols pop-up menu. For POSition, Relative ORIentation, and PARallelism, the tolerance applied is a circular tolerance zone or bandwidth rather than a dimensional tolerance.
Enter symmetrical tolerance on indicated dimension, <+/- 0.00000>
Nominal length 7.6450 +/- (Enter in desired tolerance.)
-OR-
Enter the width of the tolerance band.
Nominal orientation 60.0000 deg : (Enter in desired tolerance.)
