To adjust range limits:

Toggle the Normal/Inverted toggle to change the way the tool result is generated. If set to Normal, the tool produces a passing result if the angle value falls between the defined minimum and maximum values. If set to Inverted, the tool produces a passing result if the angle value falls outside the defined minimum and maximum values.

Adjust the valid range by changing the Minimum and Maximum angle values using the sliders or by providing the numerical values in the boxes below the slider.

Click Set Min/Max to use automatically calculated minimum and maximum angle values. The automatically calculated minimum and maximum values are 5% below and above the current angle value when you add the tool or click the Set Min/Max button.
