Orent Datum Plane to View
Orent Datum Plane to View
(OP)
I've spent the last 6 weeks training 400+ people how to use NX7.5 as part of our global upgrade I'd like to think that by now I've got an answer for most questions, however one question that continually perplexes me, is when people ask why/when would orienting a plane normal to the view direction ever be used? I would be thrilled if someone could put me out of my misery.

RE: Orent Datum Plane to View
Besides, when we developed the Datum Plane function we gave it virtually all of the same 'orientation' options as we did for the WCS which has always been used as a virtual 'plane' for the older, non-associative/non-feature sorts of object creation tasks.

We are an orthopedics company and I often receive virtual bone models from MRI data that I need to fit components to. These models have no geometry that I can explicitly reference so I often orient the model by sight on the screen then place a datum plane to begin creating sketches that I then use to modify the bone model or constrain components to.
