I'm changing sides of the country soon. The majority of my experience is in UG/NX. No Catia, how difficult is the transition? I.E. can I lie and get up to speed in a couple weeks?

Hi Y'all ( I was going to say guys, but in our current world that would offend some one... so y'all it is.)
I once saw a post explaining how to run GPM (32 bit) in newer versions after support died, you had to create a folder, move the files for GPM there, create a system environment variable...
OK, that's a mouth full. actually 2 problems. I'm posting it here cause GTAC isn't helpful, getting the "company line" type answers.
Problem 1: NX V2206. Operations inside an program group were reordered by NX. Maybe related to instanced toolpaths as the group contained both regular operation...
Guys,
MULTI_AXIS_ROUGHING NX2206
Has anyone used this operation? A co-worker and myself have tried it, the best description of the result is "herding cats is easier". I down loaded and played with the demo part, same result difficult to control.
Anyone want to share a success story...
Hello all.
I work at an aerospace company, we have (8) five axis Mitsui milling machines that are more or less the same. Pivot geometry is exactly the same, axis travel lengths vary. They all run on 31i Fanuc controls. Each machine is on a 90 day calibration schedule. Our quality department has...
Gentleman,
I am finding a need for driving special tools (such as Huele COFA deburr tools) more and more. I would like to create a routine that allows me (us) to define motion in the tool axis, preferably as variables, be able to pick multiple points to do the repetitive motion. Kind of like a...
NX users, it appears I'm the company wind dummy (first off the ground) here at my company with Version 2206. Moving from 1899. Is 2206 stable or are you finding it buggy?
Thanks

Hi all,
I'm looking for fellow users of the NCT (NC [file] Transformation) Software. This software transforms the actual machine code (G code) based on input from probed features on the machine. The software is very powerful but, yes a but, the documentation is lacking.
I posted s similar...
first of what looks like an ever growing list.
where did boundary drive method go in fixed axis contouring? v1899

Before I call for help....
I have a round part that fits in a meter sized cube. Some of it are displayed are linear sections, in V12 "update display" fixed the problem, but not in 1899. (This smells of millennial meddling.)
Any suggestions?

Hi all,
The system administrator just loaded 1899 on my box. I had read about the enhancements to Generic Motion giving you the ability to create your own custom cycles etc. We have been adding automated deburr tools to a lot of our program, mostly made by Heule. I've been salivating over my...
Are any of my fellow NC programmers out using this product?
I'm finding the documentation lacking, as in next to nothing.
Anyone out there using it and want to compare notes?

I'm trying to get a proc called output_spindle to not output if a key word is found in path name. TCL is NOT friendly.
Original and working is this:

OK, Yes it old and was removed from distribution years ago. Does anyone out have the documentation? If yes, could I get a copy?

I'm having a machining problem as follows:
I'm machining a titanium part that is cylindrical or conical (depends on where you are on the part) in shape. I am using flat bottom tools and driving normal to part surface. The titanium does like this and I get inconsistent thicknesses.
I could use...
Re : on the cutting parameters page in a planar mill toolpath, USE 2d IPW.
Is there anyone out there that uses this?
Please educate me, as a test I generated an op with a 1.0 cutter, the geometry has internal corners. I then cut the same area with a .5 cutter and turn on "use 2d ipw", there is...
sorry guys, I know this is off topic for this area. I'm hoping that there might be some fellow CNC programmers that have had some experience with these devices. Specifically the RWP20.50-G-UTP ultrasonic touch probe. It's new territory for us, we do a lot of on machine in process probing using...
I miss the chaining feature in older versions, (I use NX6 frequently). I'm back on NX12 and I'm again finding the loss of chaining to be bothersome. I've tried the options in the selection menu that appears when I select curves but it gives me the same result as selecting a face (cannot control...
Here's my need : create motion for the tool in the title. I would like it to operate the same as a drill cycle, i.e. pick points, input variable data for depths etc.
The Heule is a coolant pressure operated retractable inserted back spotfacing tool.
Motion sequence would be : position to a...
What did this do? I'm playing with an old version, NX. When I toggle it and generate the path I don't see anything other than the path.
Anyone have any idea what it was supposed to do?
