Create datums

[[Qu...]]

Hello all,

How would you go about to set up the features to create the datums for this slot.

I am using symmetry for datum -B- and a combination of 3d lines and intersections for datum -C-.

Is there a better way to approach this, I would like to know to create a feature of size for -C- in the case I want to apply MMB.

 

Thank you!

Hello Quang,

depending on the position of the datum-"box" to the dimension-arrow the datum has to be build differently.

Meaning there is information missing from your scetch.

 

Is the datum-box in line with the arrow, then it is a derived element like an axis, a middle line or a middle plane.

If the datum-box is not like that then it means the actual element it is attached to.

The datums are the full width and the length of the slot.

Do you need MMB on datum C?

Yes,

The best method I have right now is only able to create a center point between the radius and the plane.

If there is a better way to represent the datum it would be great.

Then you could use symmetry point ( not in Construction as Symmetry construction ) - should work with recalled measured point. At least you can try it
