CAD Question

[John Kugler]

If I am in Program Mode and taking hits on a surface of a 3D model, shouldn't the vectors be normal to the surface? When I probe the surface the vector looks correct, but when I hit end to take the point it changes the vector to 0, 0, 1 or 0,1,0 something like that. Is there a setting for this??

I apologize if I've asked this before, I thought I might have, but cannot locate the post.

IF you don't have FIND NOMINALS turned on (F5 setup), then it is going to use the vector you touched with. I have never used program mode, but give it a try.

Thanks, Mr Hoedeman. Jeez, I knew that too. I haven't used CAD in so long, I'm forgetting a lot of info.


Thanks again.
