XFORM-poles edit snap
XFORM-poles edit snap
(OP)
Dear All,
I am an engineer and a Yacht designer. My company just purchased NX10, after me pushing for it for a while. I have an issue with the Xform feature: I can not find a way to snap to poles while editing the surface. That sounds quite strange to me since you have tons of settings but apparently not the easiest one! That is the opportunity to move the poles around snapping to them. That is, in my opinion the easiest way to achieve the wanted result. By the way that's also how Rhino works....
For instance, let's say I want to move the pole A along the Z direction up to the pole B Z value.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Note that once you no longer wish to see the Poles displayed, simply go back the Analysis tab, select the object(s) with the poles and then toggle OFF the 'Show Poles' icon.

Can you please share a picture of what exactly you want to achieve. X-Form works nicely on poles (dragging in any direction) so not sure why you are not able to do so.
Best Regards
