I have been programming offline, using only the part model "floating in space", and creating a local coordinate system on the part. I want to bring models of knee blocks, 1-2-3 blocks, and other setup equipment in so I can program around real-world setups, allowing me to simulate datums, etc. I am finding the instructions in the Help screen very vague.
Can anybody give me (or point me to) a step-by-step tutorial on resting a part on a knee block in my Graphics Display Window?
Wes - I see how my terminology could have led you astray. Thanks for your help with definitions.
Colin - Looks like you deciphered my issue. I will try your suggestion, understanding that the BEST method is using the PART SURFACE to establish the datum whenever possible.
