Cylindrical coordinate system 2

[jdambeck]

Is there a way to change the sketch grid to polar coordinates? Catia V5R16 SP2. I'm trying to position numerous holes/pockets on a cylindrical aluminum tube (pipe) and using the polar grid system would allow positioning without creating 2 datums for every hole.

TIA

Hmm... Not sure about that, but it sounds like an interesting idea for a CATScript. (XY input converted to polar coordinates, or vice versa)

If you don't have access to a CS/VB file use "Point by Using Coordinates" - "Polar"
