Creating a journal to copy a body by using "Align Axis to Vector"

Creating a journal to copy a body by using "Align Axis to Vector"

Creating a journal to copy a body by using "Align Axis to Vector"

(OP)
Greetings fellow NX users;

I am trying to find a journal that will allow me to copy a body from one layer to another. The transform that needs to happen is an "align axis to vector". When doing this by hand, the usual method is performing "Move Object", motion "Align Axis to Vector", and have the result "Copy Original" to a specified layer.

The selected body will be one solid object on Layer 180. There is a datum plane on layer 45 that can be referenced in the "From Vector" and the pivot point doesn't matter. The "To Vector" will always be "-ZC-axis".

Please let me know if more detail is needed for this. Thanks in advance!
