Error "Profile curve must lie in XY plane." when attempting to apply a curve in a feature

Modified on Mon, 7 Oct, 2019 at 12:13 PM

Error:

FeatureCAM reports the error "Profile curve must lie in XY plane" when attempting to create a feature.


Cause of error:

The error occurs when the curve used to create a feature is not planar. This means the curve is not "flat" in the XY plane. 


Solution suggestion:

Create a planar curve from the non-planar curve by projecting to UCS.
 

  1. Curve Wizard
  2. Curve from curve
  3. Project to UCS
  4. Give the new curve a name
  5. Select the curve to project
  6. Select the UCS to project to
  7. Select the plane to project to
  8. Finish


See the Help File for information on how to project to the UCS
