SUMMARY- Sketcher Palette - how to add axis points to sections?

Consensus is that what I want to do is not possible - axis points can only
exist in solid protrusions.



Thanks to Mike & James.



Original question follows:



We're upgrading to WF3 soon, and as I was playing around with the Sketcher
Palette, I decided to try to add an axis point to the racetrack slot, so
that there would be an axis at the center.

So here's what I did:

1). Create an extrude feature

2). Insert the racetrack shape from the palette

3).Add an axis point

4). Do a Save As on the sec and store it in the palette directory

5). Exit sketcher



However, when I go to place that new sketch from the palette into a section,
the Axis Point that I had added is now simply a Point. Am I missing
something, or am I asking the impossible?

Hi Lyle,

The functionality that you are looking for will be included in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0. You'll be able to save axis points in a section file for later reuse.

Take a look at this improvement in more detail and other Sketcher enhancements here - the Wildfire 5.0 Product What's New in Part Modeling page at www.ptc.com.
