How can I draw a line aligned with an edge or surface?
How can I draw a line aligned with an edge or surface?
(OP)
I am running NX8. In previous versions I used to be able to draw a line at a midpoint of a channel and it would run parallel with an edge until I picked a stop point. For example I have engraving text on a dumb body that manufacturing needs to cut. What I want to do is draw a line in-between the two surfaces and have it be parallel to the edge until I pick the stop point. Any ideas?
