from an Asm need to create Datum curves from an Xsec
from an Asm need to create Datum curves from an Xsec
(OP)
Hi gang, I think in some help, I have an assembly of parts the parts are surface data (.prt files) and solid data (.prt files). I search the website - looked for "Xsec" and nothing was found. I found one of my old posted from last year - but didn't have an answer. This is my goal. I need datum curves from a Xsec (Section c-c to be specific). These datum curves? would it be located or created in another file. I need to know the step to create 2d datum curves which will be used in another file.
thanks Texaspete

RE: from an Asm need to create Datum curves from an Xsec
how to create a 2d datum curve?
how to create an offset Xsec?
where is the detail of the Xsec located?
More details of what you are looking for would be appreciated.

There is a curve from section tool that can be found under Insert-->Model Datum-->Curve, and then select Use Xsec.
The curve must be a feature in the same part or assembly where you have made the cross section.
You can make a part from this curve to export to catia as well:
-Use Insert-->Component-->Create and assemble the new part in the default location.
-Right Click on the part and select Activate.
-Select Insert-->Model Datum-->Curve and then select Copy
-Pick the curve you just made
You can now open the new part on its own and it should only contain the curves from the cross section, located in the correct position wrt the vehicle which you can export.

You might want to copy in the curves using a copy geometry feature Insert-->Shared Data-->Copy Geom from other model. This lets copy surfaces and/or curves without an assembly dependency.
