    Unable to change region machining order - 2D wall profile

    You should increase the distance. Let's say the part is 100mm x 100mm try making it 100mm (not tool percentage) and see if it is ok. In general keep in mind this. Your second start point will be honoured only if it is within a radius smaller or equal of the distance given in the Effective...

    Unable to change region machining order - 2D wall profile

    Hi, you need to check that the Effective Distance (under the list of your start points) is adequate enough to cover the length of the movement needed for the tool to go from each region's end to the next. If the distance is not enough it will ignore your start points and go to what it thinks is...

    NX 1969 broken wavelinks still trigger update to all parts in assembly

    When you make the "small change" you do it with "Edit parameters" or "Edit with rollback"? Then latter can cause further model update thus marking it out of date and forcing an update. You can also try to delay link updates make the change then toggle the delay links update off and see if it...

    Journal Post Process cycle through selection

    Hi all! I would like to create a journal that will just cycle through a program (lets call the master program 1234), in the Program order view, and post process everything inside it separately, whether they are progs or operations (a lot of times we post grouped operations together). I do not...

    What geometry structure to use for NX turn / mill operations?

    Try to use this kind of hierarchy, and if I remember correctly you need to double-click the turning workpiece in order for nx to generate the workpiece. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=c4da2f48-6f1a-4042-b99d-8f5662fe7b78&file=geom.jpg

    After migrating to NX 9 doubling cliking NX part file does not launch NX

    In a similar situation that I once encountered, I used "filetypesman" and changed the default program to open prt files with this line: "C:\Program Files\Siemens\NX X.X\UGII\ugs_router.exe" -ug -use_file_dir "%1" where X.X stands for the version of NX that you use.

    Locking Toolbars

    You can save your customization as a role, and then if it gets messed up you are just a click away to set things your way.

    Post process programm as separate operations

    Group output was a very nice approach to my goal except one thing. When it splits the program if an operation uses the same tool as the previous one, I get no tool change code in the file. I need for every sepatate file to have the tool change code. I tried adding a Start event to the operation...

    Post process programm as separate operations

    Hello! I am using NX quite some time now as designer and CAM engineer and I found myself in need for the following. When I have created a Program Group with some operations in it, I want somehow to be able to post process them all together with the following manner: I want to post process a...
