HOLE POSITIONING USING ANGULAR DIMS??
HOLE POSITIONING USING ANGULAR DIMS??
(OP)
Hello,
I'm having a problem getting the holes I create on UG to depend parametrically on the Datums I use for placement references. It seems that the holes will not change location if I modify the datum angle by 180 degrees and the holes keep the same position.
This Is driving me nuts more than UG usually does. I think that the only way to fix this problem is by putting in twice the datums that I currently add which I'd rather not do.
I know that UG has the ability to position holes using angular positioning dimensions but I haven't been able to create one and I've spent some quality time trying.

I just want to know if anyone has ever used angular dimensions in Edit Positioning dialog that is shown after creating the hole? I've never been able to do so because the functionality seems very old and might not even work.

What the heck are you doing over there? It's Jason M. If you are placing hole positions properly, your holes should be moving when you change the angle of the datum. There must be a missing or mis-positioned positional reference that you are using to prohibit your design intent. Check your reference positions.
