Constraining a sweep in an assembly
Constraining a sweep in an assembly
(OP)
Hi Folks,
I am new to the forum and to NX. I have used many CAD programs like Ideas, Solidworks, Inventor, and more that don't exist.
I have a problem constraining a swept part in an assembly. The swept is a "wire" that has straight and curved lines. The problem is that the swept does not have any surfaces on the wire to constrain. In Solidworks you can constrain it to the initial line that was used for the swept but I can't seem to have UG show that line.
Is there another way?
Thank you,
Chattan

Change your reference set to "entire part", constrain using the construction line, then change the reference set back to the previous value.
