Cylindricity tolerance (cylinders)
Use cylindricity to compare the measured form of a cylinder to a specific toler-
ance zone and calculate pass/fail results. Cylinder measurement requires a mini-
mum of six points. Enter additional points to increase the accuracy of your
measurements.
To perform a cylindricity tolerance
Step 1
Highlight the desired feature in the features list.
NOTE
Use a cylinder only. Cylindricity tolerances do not apply to other
types of features.
Step 2
Click the cylindricity button on the tolerance toolbar.
Step 3
Enter a value in the tolerance zone box as shown.
CAUTION
Enter tolerance values in the appropriate units of measurement.
For example, if you are measuring in metric (mm) enter tolerance
data in metric (mm).
