NX 7.5 Spline Point Constructor
NX 7.5 Spline Point Constructor
(OP)
I'm trying to use the Spline Tool using Through Points->Point Constructor. I've used this tool a lot in previous versions of NX, but I'm rather new to 7.5. When I try to place the points in free space (not on a snap point), they are placed at the correct X coordinate but always along the Y=0 coordinate. I've tried to change the type from Inferred Point to Cursor Location, but I always get the same result. If I manually type in a different Y coordinate or click on a Snap Point, then the point will go there. I've never had this problem with previous versions of NX, so I'm guessing there is a setting somewhere that I need to change.

As for changing the default, there's no option for that. Since Points can now be created as Parametric features (granted, not inside a Sketch) and since those values (X,Y,Z) are ALWAYS stored in Absolute values, even if the WCS does not match the Absolute CSYS, it was felt that the Point Constructor should at least default to Absolute so as to reduce the chance that users are mislead into thinking that something else is happening.
