    NX11.0.1 MP2: CAM: cylindrical avoidance when 4-axis drilling

    Hello, I have a ring which has points drilled all around the outside. They are drilled with the drilling operation (no cycle) which uses some other geometry for selecting the holes. This part uses expressions to resize the ring. We need to be able to produce CAM for various sizes. Therefore we...

    NX10.0 CAD: advanced blend settings: capping blend size at small surfaces

    Hello, I have a ring with various grooves cut on the outside. To simulate buffing of the outside, I want to put blends on the outside edges to dull the corners. The objects is driven by expressions which can increase the width and diameter (and number of grooves) of the ring. In the edge blend...

    NX10.0 CAM: 4-axis roughing with variable streamline gives unexpected/unwanted result

    Hello, I'm trying to mill a groove wrapped around a 4th axis. This groove has a variable width and isn't straight. I first want to use a flat endmill with diameter 1mm to try and cut as much as possible (the minimum width is less than 1mm). For this I want(ed) to use "Variable Streamline" with...

    NX8.5: using nth and mod functions in law curve

    Hello, I'm trying to wrap a series of lines onto a cilindrical surface that's bent in 2 direction (it's a wedding ring, see picture in attachment). For this I'm trying to use a single law curve. As input I have a list of coordinates that should form the end points of these series of lines. I...

    CAM: Re-enable warning message

    Hi, I recently had a warning message "Motion to Start of Engage" in CAM. I accidently checked "Don't display this message again" before clicking on OK and now (as expected) the message doesn't show anymore. I want to re-enable that message but I can't find it. I presume it's located somewhere...

    CAM: Fixed Contour Area with Spiral drive method gives unwanted retracts

    Hi, I'm having trouble getting a suitable milling path for milling a curved circular surface. I have this ring with has a wave-like side with a curved surface which needs milling using a ball cutter. I was planning on doing this with a Fixed Contour Area operation with a Spiral drive method...

    4/5-axis surface milling with a flat endmill

    Good day, I'm requiring a little help with 4/5-axis milling of a surface with a flat endmill. We fabricate wedding rings and would like to use a new machine and CAM to do some mill work required for setting stones (in this case a setting called a pavésetting). I've got the turning down to how I...
