NX8 Revise sketch plane on curve
(OP)
OK, I know you can make a Datum Plane on a curve or feature edge, enter a percentage of the edge, etc. to position it on the curve, then procede to select Sketch, then select the datum plane (on plane), etc.
Alternatively, you can select Sketch, On Curve, then pick your edge curve to define the sketch plane, etc. But, this method does not give you the option to "create a datum" plane, you manually define a "plane" to start the sketch on, then proced with your sketch, etc.
My question is, if you choose this second method to begin your sketch plane on a curve edge, and sometime later you wish to re-define the position of the plane you sketched on, where/how can you do that? Is there a way? Or is it just standard practice to make adjustable Datum Planes on edges/curves to sketch on all the time, whether you think you may have to go back and alter the plane definition/position later or not.
I hope that my question is explained correctly.
