Profile surface datum definition

I am trying to set the datum, but I wonder if there is a way to set the datum a when datum A is a curved surface as shown in the figure.

  • if this were the case there should be some target points that this user could then iteratively align to


    As says - If you wanted to use this surface as a Datum then you would need to measure defined datum points on the surface (A1 , A2, A3) then perform an iterative alignment. Once the alignment is good you can define an Alignment plane as below, this can be defined as your Datum A in Xact measure. Of course you need more points for Datum B (2) and a point for Datum C to fully define the iterative alignment. HTH

    DATUM_A =FEAT/PLANE,CARTESIAN,TRIANGLE,NO
    THEO/<0,0,0>,<0,0,1>
    ACTL/<0,0,0>,<0,0,1>
    CONSTR/PLANE,ALIGN,ZPLUS
    DATDEF/A,FEATURES=DATUM_A,,
