    Features you wish NX had?

    The ability to use a "Datum coordinate system" or preferably a MCS as the reference Coordinates of all point dialogue box's and line creation/edit dialog box's. This comes into play for me in many places, manual edit of toolpath, creating points, creating 3D lines to drive tools down. Most all...

    HoleMaking IPW shown in assembly.

    Say i modeled a piece of tooling, pulled that fixture into my manufacturing setup as an assembly component for visualization. And also, inside the fixtures .prt file, i made some programs to machine the fixture using holemaking. Now, inside my manufacturing setup for my actual part, all the...

    "Extrude" a solid body, along a series of curves.

    I'd like to Drive a solid body along a series of curves. Kind of like the "Tube" feature, but the body isn't round, nor perpendicular to the curves. It has depth beyond the end of the curve.

    Mill a slot, with a ball bottom, where its not deep enough to reach ballmills tangent.

    I've modeled a vacuum fixture, and it has a grid pattern of ball troughs. Trying to get a ballmill to run down the center of them all. The troughs are only .03 deep so not up to tangent of 3/16 ballmill, to mill it as a real slot.

    NX CAM 9.0 New Feature question.

    IPW Flow? If I'm just programming a single part, like in vises. I program the top side, then new MCS spun around "and usually moved to tooling surfaces for ease of setup" , to Program the bottom, That works fine, for the IPW being cut properly from one op to another. Is that what you mean by...

    NX 9.01 Shop Doc Template Modification Problem.

    That actually worked, thank you. First I set them all to general, then for aesthetics slowly put some back to numbers to not get 15 zero's after the decimal. In the end its fixed, and all the ones that matter are back to numbers with few decimals. Not sure which one was the culprit.
