Create Point on Curve

[sundeep198]

I am really stuck at this.
How do I create a point on curve at distance (eg.30mm)
In CATIA V5, its quite easy, select curve, enter the required distance & done.

I am not able to figure out in Nx. (Attached ref. model.)

Hello,

if you mean the distance to the beginning of the curve, just create a point, switch the type to "point on curve" and enter the distiance on the location on curve.

Best regards

I mean just at distance of 30mm from one end of the curve (on the curve)
I've tried the said option but in vain.

Maybe you are using not the same point command.
from Menu: Insert - Datum/point - point
Then you have the options from the further post.

Thanks cschnei,
Additionally I had to select Offset Option--> Along Curve --> Select the curve--> Enter distance (Arc Length)
Seems i was missing this important step.

In the Point dialog, you will find this under "Offset Option- Along Curve"

You have to create a point on the curve. What would be a better way to communicate?
Point with an option of
a. Distance on Curve
or
b. Offset Along Curve

And they are spending lots of resources on changing the interface, ribbon bars,etc..
