The X-Caliper tab contains various features related to measuring and labeling machined stock. All features will be summarized on this page but each hyperlinked feature can be clicked on to see a more detailed description for more information.

Information group

  • Information — this button is used to display related cut feature (mathematical description) and NC program history of a selected surface, stock, or model.

  • Model Thickness — this button is used to measure the thickness of selected solid stock material.

  • Air Distance — this button is used to measure the air gap between two selected solid surfaces.

  • Stack Thickness — this button is used to determine the number of components in the stack, the thickness of each component, and the overall thickness stack at a specified point.

  • Plane to Point — this button enables you to select a plane and point on a material to analyze the distance between them.

  • Plane Angle — this button enables you to select two points on a material to analyze the angle between them.

Distance/Angle group

The Distance/Angle group features are used to measure the distance and/or angle between any combination of two points, planes, conic axes, model or component origins, or edges formed by intersecting planes or cylinders.

Settings group

The Settings group is a dynamic section that updates with relevant additional information depending on what features and options are selected from other X-Caliper sections.

Dimensions groups

The Dimensions group features are used to control saving X-Caliper measurements as they are taken as Dimension Labels.
