    Placing coordinate systems in shop doc

    Greetings! Using NX6 I would like to improve our shop floor documentation by changing the default look of coorindate systems. I am only aware of the calibrate option in visual preferences, but I would like to customize it in a deeper way - for example: changing the letting size, removing the...

    Reading part settings in macro environment

    Greetings! Recently I created a macro for faster surface finish symbol application. We mainly use 3 grades of surface finish in our drawings: 0.8 for grinding, 1.6 for precision milling and 3.2 when surface roughness doesn't really matter. I dedicated one button to each grade so there is no...

    Auto title block from file path

    Hi! I would like to extract information from file path into my drawings using title blocks. It seems to me in an other thread (http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=364026) this problem was already discussed, and even two journals were written to solve it. I did run both journals but for...

    Creating custom attributes in Operation Part Navigator

    Greetints! I would like to know, is it possible to create/add custom attributes in Operation Navigator? For example, I would like to see the cutting parameters - part stock, cut depth, stepover and so on. I would use it for creating shop documents, because I could easily convert it to...

    Multi axis machining with disc cutter

    Greetings! I would like to ask that, is it possible in NX to create multi axis toolpaths using a disc cutter? The goal is to mill a generic 3D slot. The following pictures show, what I mean. This is an university project, and my NX knowledge is not good enough (even to judge), if it is...

    Numerical simulation of surface roughness in NX

    Greeting everyone! I would like to simulate the surface roughness of peripheral milling in NX. This means I have to deal with cycloids in order to get the accurate roughness values, because the cutting edges of the tool are moving on a cycloid path. I created a few of them using the law curve...
