Reference geometry coordinate system
Reference geometry coordinate system
(OP)
Can someone please give me some practical examples of where you would need to use a reference geometry coordinate system. I don't really understand what they are used for.






RE: Reference geometry coordinate system
Coordinate systems are great for when you have an imported model and the origin is out in space. You can make a new Coordinate system and export the model out and use that Coordinate as your origin. The imported model now has the origin in that location now. That is just one of the many uses of Coordinate systems

Would I be right or wrong in thinking that I have to use the Body-Move/Copy Feature rather than creating a reference geometry coordinate system if the machine shop people want the model to have the coordinate system positioned on the back of the vise so they don't have to move it in their cnc system?
RE: Reference geometry coordinate system
You could use the Move/Copy Body if you need to move a body in a part. Without exporting it... it's at the users discretion.

I believe that this should contain the history (feature) tree should contain coordinate systems you set up.
I am not this lucky, which is why I use step export/import for the solids and iges for ref coordinate systems, sketches, and surfaces.
