Moving Datums used by sketches

Moving Datums used by sketches

(OP)
Hi all,

New to UG, hence what might be a silly question.  Trying to get used to the whole sketcher enviroment.  Using UG for yacht design and we ofthen have to draw on a curved surface (recess for winches etc.).  How can I specify a datum plane perpendicular to the local surface, and once I've got that - if I want to move the sketch, whats the best method?  Can you just make a new datum plane then re-attach the sketch to the new plane??

Thanks for the help (I hope!)

Matt

RE: Moving Datums used by sketches

If you want a datum plane perp to a surface you will ned to make a section through it and a then decide where on that curve you want to have your datum plane.

Yes you can reattach the sketch on an other datum plane

RE: Moving Datums used by sketches

regarding reattaching the sketch to the new datum, make sure you reorder the datum before the sketch....
