Datum Planes Intersection Point

Datum Planes Intersection Point

Datum Planes Intersection Point

(OP)
In NX6 is it possible to create an associative point at the intersection of 3 datum planes?
It's probably very simple but I can't find it... I've tried using Datum/Point and Curve from Bodies - intersect & section to no avail.

Regards,
Mick.

RE: Datum Planes Intersection Point

Try inserting a datum CSYS, and choose the by 3 planes option, then you will get a point (and 3 planes and 3 axises) at the insersection of these three planes, and it will be assiociative. This is one solution maybey there's a better way, but it will do the trick.

Best regards,

Michaël.

Thanks Michaël,

That will work for me as I can wave link to the point within the specification.

Mick,

You could also create sketch on one plane, insert point, constrain it to the other two planes.

Regards,
Mat.
