Arc Transformation in NX Open

Arc Transformation in NX Open

Arc Transformation in NX Open

(OP)
    In NX6 I have a sketch in which I created a profile that is the cross section of my model. I used the Insert : Recipe Curve : Intersection Curve command to generate the profile. I have an NX Open app I have written to extract the Line / Arc definitions from the sketch. I have done this successfully with numerous other sketches (because manually created sketches have arcs using the same matrix as the sketch).

    The problem in this situation is that that NX creates the arcs  in matrices other than the matrix of the sketch. Therefore the arcs  need to be transformed into sketch coordinates. I have tried various matrix multiplication scenarios without success. If anyone knows how to transform arcs from their creation matrix into another suitably aligned matrix I would be extremely grateful.

Thanks
Rick  

RE: Arc Transformation in NX Open

Did you find a solution for this?

If not, can you provide a sample file and/or some code you have tried so far?
