Constraining sketch curves to faces
Constraining sketch curves to faces
(OP)
Hello All,
I have a user in NX8.5 that has raised a question and I was unable to find a resolution.
Is it possible, within a sketch, to constrain a curve to a face instead of an edge? I personally don't mind constraining to edges, but I figured I would see if there was a way to do this.
Thanks all!
-John

RE: Constraining sketch curves to faces
What you can do is take a section thru the face that you want to constrain to, and you those associative curves created by the section to constrain the sketch to. You may be able to use the plane that your sketch is on to create the section curves.

Now while in the sketcher, you can create intersection curves between 3D faces and the 2D plane of the sketch (as long as they actually intersect), if that helps.
