    Learning NX CAM Programming

    Yes, that it is expected if the body is being used for all your operations. The purpose is so affected operations will update automatically, such as for the size or location for features. Other purposes for this is rest machining, clearance moves updating correctly and cutting simulation...

    NX1926 Performance

    What is your hardware setup? I have seen some lagging with various tasks and I typically use current, mid-range Dell Xeon Precision workstations. Performance is decent but NX loves to use resources. Decent processors and graphic cards should be used and I do not recommend running NX on...

    Measure Objects-Create Geometry

    After measuring you need to expand the results window to the right by clicking anywhere on the right end bar and you will see the buttons for creating non-associative geometry. By the way in case you haven't used it much, when using measure for things like extrude and offset distance you need...

    NX CAM

    Did you try a Z-level Profile operation with a bull-nosed tool? Also, you could turn on optimized depth cuts so the finish is nice and also turn on cut between levels using a step over of 50% of the tool flat or less. If you select your top faces as cut area geometry, you can extend them using...

    Facet Settings in the NX over 12

    There are some Visualization settings that affect how your model looks but the first thing I would look at before you change any of those settings is your load options preferences. The default Lightweight options are too Lightweight for the average user IMO and furthermore Update Display and...

    Unable to install NX HelpServer.1.0.5

    @ Gelson I verified I am using the 64 bit version, thank you! @Cowski Your full path recommendation did the trick! I wouldn't think that a version folder in a path would be good for software design but oh well. By the way i did not use a back slash on the end of the path. NX 12.0.2 Testing NX...

    NX 12 FREEZES

    One of our NX 12 workstations, which is running 12.0.2, locks up when entering the drafting application. Most often it happens when the file was saved in drafting, and since we have the default to open prt files in the state when last saved, NX will lock up when opening the prt file and trying...

    Unable to install NX HelpServer.1.0.5

    I am planning to install series 1926 docs but first I need to install HelpServer.1.0.5. When running the exe it returns the error "Please check you have installed the correct version of java in JAVA_HOME as a SYSTEM variable and that it is available". I currently have Java version 8 build 261...

    save 2d toolpath in a planar mill op

    Wow, version 10 is going way back there and I'm struggling a bit trying to recall what it was like back in v10. ( I started using UG in 9 or 10) Is it saving the actual CL path and/or cut regions? In fixed contouring you can use CLSF data for a drive method but then again why save the path...

    NX log file

    Do you see any activity in your status bar? Info can scroll through quickly but can you see any messages? Any feature updating happening? Are you seeing anything out of the ordinary in your log file? Is your MemoryDialog.dlx file becaoming huge? NX 12.0.2 NX 1919

    Is Siemens NX using AVX-512 instruction set?

    In case you have not heard the news of the new AMD Threadripper Pro processor... [bigsmile] Threadripper Pro to take on Xeon with 12,16,32 or 64 cores! NX 12.0.2 NX 1919

    NX12 Tool Bar Short-Cut Keys

    In addition to cowski's suggestion, I recommend turning it back to off after you have made your necessary customizations to prevent accidentally saving unintentional changes. NX 12.0.2 Testing NX 1919

    High performance NX CAM workstation. Parallel Generate and multi threading.

    Dani, I think Dell has had a deep partnership with Intel for a long so perhaps there are contractual reasons for them to stay with Xeons for their Precision workstations. The last time I checked I was able to specify an AMD processor for a desktop computer although it was not with the latest...

    High performance NX CAM workstation. Parallel Generate and multi threading.

    Hello, Much of the information is in the What's New documentation for every version and I agree this is an area which is lacking in the docs. Even the Find Default search function in Customer Preferences does not reveal these important settings. As mentioned earlier there are some design...

    High performance NX CAM workstation. Parallel Generate and multi threading.

    Hello, There is a lot of SMP and parallel processing in NX CAM. However there is still some single threaded processing so you will have to balance your decision between core speed and core count. Z-level and contour operations use both single and multi threading. Gouge check is multi threaded...

    Siemens RealizeLIVE event, unable to get sessions into Outlook calendar.

    Hello, I am registered for the Siemens RealizeLIVE event but I am having issues registering for sessions. I am unable to populate my Outlook calendar with sessions. Any ideas? NX 12.0.2 Testing series 1899

    NX cam - non linear disc milling - how?

    NX cam - non linear disc milling - how?

    I do not do much of this type of programming but it appears that a Groove Milling operation from the planar operations group is what you are looking for. You mentioned it was created with a swept feature which shouldn't be a problem especially if the groove faces are planar and cylindrical...

    NX cam - cutting parameters, stock - Intol/Outtol

    @Dawson70 That's a great example to be careful of! When using Number cut step setting I noticed the cut step-max step setting will affect that scenario as well and will clean it up a bit but still seem very archaic and something to avoid. Personally for fixed axis machining I use Area Milling...

    NX cam - cutting parameters, stock - Intol/Outtol

    Some time ago GTAC mentioned or Siemens published that NX will output exact offset calculations with the exception of using the tolerances on everything else, such as a Z-level profile operation cutting a tilted cylindrical face, such as a blend on adjacent faces which have draft. I'm not...
