Print CSYS
During the design of a model, you can use the Print CSYS command to create a coordinate system that defines the print direction, which will be used downstream in 3D printing.
You can define the orientation of the print CSYS manually or let NX suggest an orientation that significantly flattens the part when it is printed. The result is a new CSYS feature positioned so that the part rests on the X-Y plane, with the build direction aligned in the +Z direction.
