WCS problem on NX

[Kaan01]

Hello everybody,
i use nx 9,
i have very big problem since i start using NX, sometimes i have to work on angled datums. And i have this. This is very big problem for diameter parts on drafting.

i can add a wcs like i want as you see on photo, but i can not use it on drafting etc,..

How can i solve it?

So what is the problem with drafting ?
Are you trying to do drafting in the model space ?

The view triad in the bottom left corner is to show the Absolute WCS in relation to your current view.
It will never align with your modified WCS.

To do what you want, I made a video to show, see attached.

Thank you everybody.
Now i found a way to do it over solidworks :/
i export the file as parasolid.
i open it by solidworks, add a wcs , save as(by new coordinate axis). Then i import it to NX again.
For NX there must be something, i don't want to believe it's not exist.

Unclear what you're trying to do, but this might help:

There is only 1 WCS in an NX part file, it's your "mobile" co-ordinate system, like a 3D ruler. It is NOT a feature, and can't be copied into multiple positions.

But, once you've positioned the WCS, you can use it to create other things e.g.
- a datum co-ordinate system, which is a feature in the part navigator
- a saved custom view (view - set to WCS, then view - save-as) which is useful for drafting
and so on.

Hope that helps, Carl

You can save a WCS at any time that you wish while in Modeling by going to...

Format -> WCS -> Save

This copy of the WCS will show-up when you create your Drawing(s) while the one that's shown in Red/Blue/Green will not. Remember, if you're working in the Master Model mode you'll need to make sure that the copied WCS is included in your 'Model' Reference Set.

Can you tell us what you are ultimately doing here. Taking a Solidworks file and making an NX drawing from it ?
I have a feeling there is a better way to do it.

Here is the file that i design on NX,
it was on an angled datum. Then the design changed and i put the parts to an another assembly.
Even when i export the file as a parasolid or stp file. it goes like this. Solidworks, inventor etc. open the file in this wcs.
Then in solidworks i can put a new wcs like i did in NX in video, i save the file as "with new wcs" . Everything becomes normal.
