Difficult Datum

I am having trouble figuring out how to establish Datum B (see attached). It creates that midline the red arrow points to, but it seems to be a line and a point. Does anyone have any advice on how to create that midline from a straight and curved feature?


UPDATE: SOLVED. See neil.challinor 's reply/following comments for how I created a tangent line from a circle point.

  • You have two datum target points for datum D (11.88 up from datum B). Datum D also needs to be a width feature - in this case a 1D width. You need to create an alignment levelled to A, rotated and translated to B. You then need to measure the R15 on each side of the part - I would use linear open scans and then construct curves from the scans. You can then intersect the curves with a generic plane (11.88 from B) to get your D1 & D2 points. Once you have D1 & D2, construct a 1D width feature and define it as datum D.
  • D I can do. B is the problem, getting a midline from a line and a radius. I need a tangent line to the curved end of width B I think.
