Angle Measurement (X/Y Axis)

The Angle Measurement (X Axis) and Angle Measurement (Y Axis) probe cycles probe two points on a selected surface and calculate the angle of the face with respect to the X or Y axis, respectively.

SOLIDWORKS CAM positions the two points symmetrically around the centroid of the selected face. In the Operation Parameters dialog box, on the Probe tab, under Probe Cycle, you can specify the distance between the points in Incremental Distance for X location and Y location.

The normal of the selected planar face must be perpendicular to the Z axis of the setup where you insert the probe.
