Create Datum Axis

[emAG]

Hello,

i try to create an axis with type Through an Edge. I try to position the new axis on a specific edge from a surface by set the "PRO_E_DTMAXIS_CONSTR_REF" field.
But it is only possible, to use the whole surface as reference, and ProE takes always the first edge of surface to create an axis.
How can i specify, which edge on surface i take for axis creation?

If somebody have some experience in this area would be nice.

best regards
Ilja

Did you try to give an edge for the ref field ? The documentation allows you to give an edge or a surface for this argument. Here is a part of the ProDtmAxis.h file :


3. PRO_DTMAXIS_THROUGH:


| |--PRO_E_DTMAXIS_CONSTRAINT (Constraint 1)


| |--PRO_E_DTMAXIS_CONSTR_TYPE PRO_DTMAXIS_CONSTR_TYPE_THRU


| |--PRO_E_DTMAXIS_CONSTR_REF PRO_EDGE (Straight), PRO_SURFACE(Cylinder)
