changing axis systems
changing axis systems
(OP)
Hi all,
Been looking at the centre of gravity on a fixture I am designing. Now I can only do it via the measure bodies feature as we don't have a license to do it with the advanced bit. Can't remember off the top of my head what its called properly. My question is if you do a measure bodies on an assembly and the pick create axis system it puts like a dump system in, which you can't really do much with. Is there any way to change this to a pukka axis system so I can measure from the planes etc?
Cheers in advance

RE: changing axis systems
Anyway, you can create a datum csys on top of the coordinate system object that the measure body command generates. Insert -> Datum/Point -> Datum Csys and change the reference to "selected csys". Select the coordinate system and a datum csys will be created on top of it, giving you datum planes and axes that you can use.

Well thanks I'll give it another go.

If so then check where new datum Csys is relative to the body measurement in the model tree.
