    NX Cam Associativity for non native parts

    If you set your manufacturing file up as an assembly and bring the parasolid in as a part file, You can replace the part in the original part file and then in the manufacturing assembly there is a "Replace Component" function that supposedly will do this. I tried a couple times and it did not...

    Corrupted files?

    All of a sudden we are getting files that will not open in NX5. The Error is the following: An invalid handle index was found reading an OM file: probable corruption. Has anyone else had this happen? What could be causing this?

    Modeling Question. Making multiple models all based on seed part.

    It has been a while, but i think you need to set your load options correctly to get the Linked bodies to update automatically. If I remember correctly it has to do with load interpart data. If this is not checked you need to double click the Linked body to get it to update.

    UGNX4 CAM

    There is a million ways to skin a cat. You can also divide the face of the impellar to only machine the sections you want. This keeps the tool path from wanting to rap over the edges, which is where i seem to have the most trouble holding tolerance. You can also make datum planes that project...
