Why are angular constraints so unreliable? NX9
Why are angular constraints so unreliable? NX9
(OP)
I've suffered with them in Mating and Sketches. So often I've got an angular constraint set up and when I change other constraints in model the angular one flips to the opposite side of the plane or axis it was based on.
It spins the whole part or model around. I don't really get why... Am I missing some modeling 101 knowledge!?
I've had it with fixing this kind of stuff!!
TIA

The same goes for any Assembly constraint cases.

Can you send me an email address? I will send you a simple video of a sketch that I have issues with NX9+, my work firewall prevents me from posting it here.

That being said, look at my user name, add a couple of periods where you think they should go and then add the siemens extension.
