Datum Coordinate System ~ NX7.5

Datum Coordinate System ~ NX7.5

(OP)
Is there a way to lock a Datum Coordinate System to the absolute origin?
I thought there was a way to do this, but I can't get it to work.

RE: Datum Coordinate System ~ NX7.5

I'm not sure what you mean by "lock" a Datum CSYS. The default location is at, and orientated relative to, absolute space. If you accidentally move a CSYS you can edit it and change the 'Type' back to 'Absolute CSYS' and it will snap back to where it belongs.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

You answered my question, thank you.
I guess it would be nice if the Datum Coordinate System could be associated to the abolute origin, in the same way that it can be associated feature data.
