Infer WCS

Infer WCS

Infer WCS

(OP)
I can't seem to infer the WCS using NX6 while doing a csys to csys 'move' (used to be a Transform-> Reposition). Instead, I have to save WCS before doing the Move or recreate it through the csys dialog within 'move'. Not a big deal (much like several of my last posts here), but does anyone know if it is still possible?

Thanks,
KLINE

RE: Infer WCS

If you're attempting this at the assembly level, then it's not possible. You will have to revert to the legacy transform functions.

RE: Infer WCS

Use the 'offset' option, use the 'WCS' option as the reference with 0 offsets. That should do the trick.

RE: Infer WCS

Thanks cowski, your idea caused me to discover that I should now just create both CSYS on the fly within 'move' that works even better for moving stuff where keeping the coordinate system isn't necessary.
