    hello everyone, can you help me how

    Like SDETERS mentioned, I'd try Synchronous 1st. Optimize face, but use the selection to pick the body Faces, Then offset the single face. If the geometry is clean it should move and adapt the blend faces. if not? untrim the flat face you want to move, offset it your distance and re-blend

    Export points coordinate from NX to txt

    There is a discussion on points to txt on the official board from few years ago https://community.sw.siemens.com/s/question/0D54O00007cAzwJSAS/i-will-created-coordinate-system-grip-programprogram-is-workingbut-output-file-created-in-dat-formati-need-a-excelxlsx-format-how-to-change

    Creating wire fencing using NX

    I've only had to make a safety fence like shown in your image once. I did it old school though, before I knew what patterns were, if I recall correctly. I created planes for the outer boundary, made 1 line in X and 1 in Y where I wanted them, then trimmed them. Then use Tube to create the...

    Carpal tunnel syndrome

    oddly enough I just had surgery for Ulnar nerve entrapment and carpal tunnel syndrome on my Left hand... I'm 53. 24yrs on UG/NX What's Odd is I'm right handed and a hunt and pecker on the keyboard and I don't use a spaceball/mouse, so I doubt mine was work related.

    Text engraving and single line fonts

    Thanks Levy, thats similar to what I had before. Though it was the Radius of the tool and what WOC I wanted and it gave the DOC to achieve it. To make a visual on the model, you could use this formula to offset your surfaces and project your trim or letters to it. then create a solid of your...

    Text engraving and single line fonts

    Levy1989, does it work for DOC to the width of cut on freeform type surfaces for 5axis engraving? the one I used to have I could use say a 3mm ball to cut my max-min trim tolerance on check fixtures. if so, can you share it?

    Anyone using MULTI_AXIS_ROUGHING

    You're too kind with your term for development... We're not a large enough account to get direct NX support anymore. We have to use our Reseller 1st. so it takes twice as long for them to just tell me it's working as designed... If we ever seriously entertain NXCAM, we would need a different...

    Need to calculate least size bounding box REGARDLESS of coordinate system

    I never knew about Best fit in Measure. I always use this method

    Anyone using MULTI_AXIS_ROUGHING

    interested as well. We currently use WorkNC for CAM as we mainly do die/mold style of machining. but over the last few years development has stalled somewhat mainly due to being bought and sold a few times. We have a seat of NX MILLFOUND with bundle, but only use it for design, NXCAM needs a...

    How can 2 truncated cones with different drafting directions be combined tangentially?

    If its a screw hole? can you just make it a slot that's slightly oversized and punch it normal to surface?

    Text engraving and single line fonts

    Mainly I use it for scribing text with a drill-mill. using a ball is tricky. I used to have a calculator. but lately, I just save a couple of sequences once I got the width I wanted

    Text engraving and single line fonts

    I use the "modern" font for text that's going to be engraved

    Irregular Profile in NX

    The only way I know is to remodel this with some parametrics, not all of course. I would untrim all of the planer surfaces and redo the blends. Which would be all surfacing tools... would take less than an hour to rebuild it that way I'm glad I don't have any modeling restrictions... my job is...

    selection preferences NX7.5

    Pretty sure the defaults for that is in the selection intent rules of customer defaults. even that far back in 7.5

    Moving a face

    Is the intent to add stock to the casting for machining later? when Move face doesn't work like I want it to, I'll extract the face and then thicken, remove the hole, and unite it.

    Surface Design Issues

    I agree with Manox, it's those bottom edges that are causing the failure. extend them so the bland has somewhere to attach to. Or do a Face Blend and turn off all the trimming and sewing options, then trim it out manually.

    Export Convergent Body as a STEP, IGES, Parasolid, etc.

    I agree with Cowski, that's how I've done it in the past. I don't deal with STLs much anymore. We outsource it to someone with Polywoorks or DesignX. it's been many years...
