Hi John, I was wondering if NX CAM 10 will implement B-rep Stock Update so we can output the cut part to Parasolid model and not tessellated STL model with the above enhancement? Example of CAM program that support B-rep stock is Pro/NC from PTC and Topsolid from Missler. Thanks.

Unrelated to above post, but i wish to know whether Volumill for NX (by celeritive) can run solely on CAM foundation without any 2.5 or 3 axis package? Thanks.

Good to hear that. The above UDOP is developed by POSTPROCESSOR.Ru and I think it's not a free ware. I wonder if the NX CAM developer would expand this functionality (the wrap feature) in the future for 3 axis milling package. It's easier to perform a milling operation on a swept geometry...

Hi I was wondering if i need the multi-axis machining package if i wanted to mill something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBggBZmK-B0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lg62BrMLXgU At the above video shown,they use a custom developed UDOP operation (from postprocessor.ru) which is not...

Yes, I wanted to sketch something using a command similar to "circular array" in AutoCAD. Other 3d cad system has circular pattern for sketching. I was wondering if there is any workaround for this problem. The sketch pattern that I needed requires this function to work.

Hi I was wondering how can i circular pattern a sketch inside the sketch mode?

Thanks. Got it.

Hi I am using Solid Edge ST4 student edition. How can i disable the double sided extrusion to 1 sided extrusion. It seems i got stuck with 2 sided extrusion (both symmetrical and non-symmetrical) no matter how i click. Thanks

Guys, i was wondering any noticeable differences between NX 8 Mac version and windows version? Is it ok to run NX 8 using a macbook that comes with consumer graphics card?

Hi, I was wondering if having two physical processor is better than one physical processor with more cores in NX CAD. Example 2 physical 4 core vs 1 physical 8 core. Will it drastically reduce the rebuilt time with 2 physical processor than 1 physical with higher cores. Thanks

Solution: Change the tolerance of the wrap function when the curves are near to each other. Thanks

Thanks John.

Guys, I faced some problem regarding the divide face feature. I was unable to divide faces of the wrap sketches on the cylindrical surface. I need to emboss the sketches after the divide face operation. Attached is the file. Note the 2 curves that was unable to emboss. Please help to...

Yes,it does not.

Well, this is not related to NX program but i wish to know what's the best practice. Should we leave the ball end indentation and let the CAM part handle it, or should we model it so that the CAM will follow the part? Anyone has similar situation as here? The parts i try to model can be...

Use readyboost when you have low physical memory (RAM). If you have sufficient RAM (eg 4GB and above),then it is unnecessary to use Readyboost. Buy an SSD instead.

Thanks phillpd. The trick is to blend edges.

The drawing file given by eex23 is very closed to what i want. However, what happens when i want to stop half way and not mill through the whole cylinder. It would have a spherical indentation on the end of the ball milling operation. The question now is how can i achieve that?

Hi guys, I was wondering how to revolve the end profile of the sweep solid to make a ball mill sweep cut? Attached file http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=be112e41-c7dd-4778-930c-324889e60042&file=model3.prt...

Actually i would want to have the cosmetic effect of the ball end mill at the end of the milling operation. PhillPD could you provide a NX file for your explanation?
