Hello,
I'm just returning to Pro from Inventor after a 7-year hiatus. I really like the new Creo interface - great software.
I need to copy some geometry from a, or create mating geometry to, an IGES of an injection molded part involving some fairly complex surfaces. What is the cleanest, most elegant way to do this?
Here is what I was thinking:
<ul>[*]Design the mating component from an assembly with the IGES assembled.[*]Define datums from the IGES.[*]Create features for the new part in the assembly environment from the datums created in the IGES and surfaces already present in the IGES.[/list]This seems to be an approach that would work, but I always like to find the cleanest way to do things.
