Use the Move Face function to select the central cylinder of the shaft. The following functions are now displayed under the Results tab in the Face Finder:
- Coaxial: Selects sections of the shaft that are coaxial to the selected section and have the same radius.
- Coaxial (Far): Selects sections that are only coaxial to the selected section but have different radii.
- Coplanar Axes (Far): Selects sections whose axes are parallel to the axis of the selected section but have different radii.
- Equal Radius: Selects sections that have the same radius.
