BTW...
The spring was created in GSD..(helix using a profile)
then close surface and then two rib commands to finish out the hook ends.Thanks for the reply's they are appreciated

hey guys
part infrastructure whether on or of did'nt make a difference
the spring would sym opp as a part just fine
but I coud'nt get it to work in assembly.
does the assembly symmetry only work on the whole product(entire assembly) vs an instance within the assembly?
Carl
new product
insert part (spring)
insert new part (empty..named plane)
assembly symmetry
select plane from part named plane
selected "mirror new instance"
select finish
Tree shows "symmetry of xxxxxx"
problem is there is nothing there but symmetry plane
no mirrored spring instance..what am I...
all right First I put a plane normal to curve
then I viewed normal to plane
then I set compass to "lock privileged plane orientation
parallel to screen"
then projected my other vector to that new plane
popped another "normal to curve plane" on that one
then I was able to use the U vector and V...
Thanks
I know about normal to plane..but once I'm there
I'd like to rotate the view on the screen so that one
of my vector lines is exactly vertical on the screen.
It's a Vehicle side view of seatbelt..from anchor to dring to shoulder constitues a plane, then I need to put
anchor to dring...
Hi
new to the forum
In v5 r16 ( in 3d) is there a way to create view in direction
like down a vector..also, once you are in that view flip
off that view 90 degrees?
Thanks, Carl
