thread561-270582 in NX6.0.3.6 this error is returned in the mfg module. can anyone define this better and give a solution to "break" the undesired "link" it's referencing? PMc CNC Programmer

I have a seed file in teamcenter that has a toolpath that I used the “Browse” option to create. This is causing a major problem. I cannot select new geometry in the toolpath. The old geometry seems to be “linked” to the “browse” part file. I have not been able to break the link, even with...

Thanks. did you also add anything to identify which role is active? :-) PMc CNC Programmer

thanks, can you help me remember how to "save current role"? PMc CNC Programmer

is there a way to tell which Role is active from the Role Navigator Tab? in the navigator there is Last Release, Industry Specific, System Defaults, and User. There are different roles in each one of these and I'm not sure which one is active. I'm scared that if I select one, I won't be able...

Thanks cyberpete. Even though my collegues and I were getting more comfortable with the Move Object function, this makes for a nice transition. Many Thanks! :-) John, your point made is understood as well. Thanks to all! PMc CNC Programmer

Is lathe cross section supported in NX6? I keep losing the geometry created by the lathe cross section operation at various times in CAM process. I am working with multiple components of assemblies in one file. The data loss is not consistent across each component (lathe x section is used for...

what i am seeing in one common instance is that all toolpaths are going "out of date" when a component of an assembly is modified and saved by Save All (the entire assembly). Toolpaths of other components within that assembly are nulled out as well, even though they were not changed, just...

Very good information related to Toolpath>Lock. Thanks John and Mark, I will examine this information further. :-) PMc CNC Programmer

If the toolpath is locked, how is it that it becomes "nulled" (un-generated)? I see that Approve will allow it to post as a work around, but i still ask why? how can i find out what is causing my toolpaths to null out when i open my saved and generated projects? BTW, teamcenter is used...

Thanks John for the suggestion... but the tool axis is actually Z+ direction and i don't think my post will allow the X axis as you suggest. I have a work around in place but it is several more clicks and evaluating the toolpath source (toolpath list) to get tangencies so that a straight move...

i have found that the system doesn't like a horizontal clearance plane, although i'm unsure if this is so or if i'm not applying the clearance correctly. This worked fine in NX3 but intermittently in NX6 ( i've seen it work twice but cannot duplicate again and the paths that did work are now...

ah! see, if you just hit enter enough, you'll get what you want... lol. well thanks for your reconsideration of not removing this, i would definately be scratching my head then. and maybe this will be of some help to another poor soul like myself who struggles with change :-). PMc CNC...

try it and see if you can get to the old dialog as well. I stumbled across it and that's what i've been using for the past week now. I'm still getting familiar with the enhancements of NX6 but my work load is backing up tremendously... I do appreciate the help from forums like these and...

I have found that if i keep hitting enter i finally get to the "old nx3" dialog. it's just a pain to get to. that's why i'd like it to default to "translate" (i mistyped in previous post and put transform... duh) PMc CNC Programmer

this is all good stuff. however, please consider the CAM user that just wants some "quick" NC geometry. The old style was very useful and in a competitive market, speed is everything. that's where change seems to affect me, it's slow at the beginning. the "enhancements" are great but usually...

thanks for the suggestion, does that offer Rotate about a Point, Rotate about a Line, or Repostion? I will take a look at Move Object, but I really miss the Translation function dialog from NX3... PMc CNC Programmer

when launching the Transform function, it seems that Scale is the default type. How can i change it to display all transformation types at launch i.e. translate, rotate about a point, rotate about a line, etc...? I am finding that i must select through the scale options until the option allows...

My company has recently upgraded to NX6 from NX3 and we have some legacy projects that take some time when opening. Whenever switching from modeling to manufacturing it seems that some checks are performed and an information file is displayed with: Attribute in: "toolpathname"...

in NX3, is it possible to upload tools to a library. I have found the way to "retrieve tools", which i've been able to do with the sample tools from install. Now I'd like to put the tools I've been using in various projects into a library for future use, hopefully by uploading. any and all...
