TestProcess.Measure.Length.Form.Parallelism

DescriptionParallelism is a fairly common symbol that requires the referenced surface or line to be parallel to a datum surface or line. Parallelism can reference a 2D line, but more commonly it describes the orientation of one surface plane parallel to another datum plane.

Required Parameters

  • Distance – Nominal distance between parallel planes

Optional Parameters

  • Type – {Axis or surface}
  • Dimension – Largest dimension of the plane being measured
  • StartPointX – Start Point on the X-Axis distance from the reference
  • EndPointX – End Point on the X-Axis distance from the reference
  • StartPointY – Start Point on the Y-Axis distance from the reference
  • EndPointY – End Point on the Y-Axis distance from the reference
  • StartPointZ – Start Point on the Z-Axis distance from the reference
  • EndPointZ – End Point on the Z-Axis distance from the reference
  • Resolution – Distance between points
  • Reference – DIN, ISO, ASTM, ASME, or Federal G-Series Measurement Specifications  [plain text]

Measured Value & Uncertainty

  • Parallelism(m)
