NX 7.5 - Creation of a datum point on a surface
NX 7.5 - Creation of a datum point on a surface
(OP)
Hi,
when creating a datum point, it doesn't seem possible to use a axis in any way? My intention is to create a datum point on a surface by intersecting the surface with a axis. Seems pretty trivial but how to actually do it.. ?

RE: NX 7.5 - Creation of a datum point on a surface
My idea is that Vector defines only a direction (it can move parallely ) and is not fixed position wise so that may be the reason why we cannot have a intersection point with a surface (i may be wrong in my thinking though)

An alternative which might work for you is that you can use the 'Project' function to project a Point ONTO the surface along an 'Axis'.

'Project'ing a set of points resulted in what I originally intended, thanks!
