Create Datum Axis at Intersection of Sheet Body and Datum Plane
Create Datum Axis at Intersection of Sheet Body and Datum Plane
(OP)
Platform NX 10.0.3.5
I am trying to create a Datum Axis at the intersection of a cylindrical sheet body and the datum plane intersecting it. Logically in my mind I see this but when I try to select features it won't allow me to do this. I try to create it on 'Inferred' and I can either select the sheet body or the datum plane but not both. I try to create it on 'Intersection' but I cannot select the sheet body.
I have No Selection Filter and Entire Assembly for what I want to select. Both features are in the Displayed and Working Model. How do I do this?? I have attached a p[picture of the model and features in question.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I was able to get around this by ending the arc at the datum plane but this will cause more work in my part/assembly. Thanks for the help.

If you create intersection points on the edges as suggested by Tim, make sure that you pick the datum plane as the first object. NX will not let you pick a datum as the secondary intersection object. Also, if you are working in an assembly and the datum plane and sheet are in different files, you may need to wave link something to get the command to work (this applies to my suggestion as well as Tim's).
