NX8 DatumAxis normal to a curve
NX8 DatumAxis normal to a curve
(OP)
Hello,
I created a point-set on a curve, and put datumaxes on these points normal to the curve (all of these are associative). When i change the curve shape, the datum axes are reversing due if their basepoints are on a concave or convex curvature. Is there a way to prevent this?
I put the screenshot of what i am talking about. Datums reversed based on the curve shape when i changed the curve. Lets say I want them direct upwards always whatever the curve shape.

Then i guess the only way to do this is to put some associative rules by measurement etc. Maybe reversing the direction depending on angle measurements or such.
