    NX - CAM Machine Control -->Motion Output Section

    Mark, your answer pointed me to the right spot. I was turning it on a second time. I went into the Speed & Feeds within the Teach "Profile Operation" and set it to none. That totally fixed the problem. Thanks for your help.

    NX - CAM Machine Control -->Motion Output Section

    Mark, thank you for responding. Yes. The RPM is already running, then I make a rapid "Linear Move", then I make another "Linear Move" at .100 IPR, then I program a "Profile Cut" at .020 IPR. The spindle is turned on again before the "Profile Cut". I don't want to turn it on again since it's...

    NX - CAM Machine Control -->Motion Output Section

    NX 10 Lathe Programming Teach Mode --- How do I turn off the RPM output when using the "Profile Cut Selection". I have already turned on the spindle at the M00 restart and made several "Linear Moves" when I need the profile.

    Overlapping Cuts On Lathe

    Lathe__80 deg. diamond tool- Rough cut down face & 1/2 of 1.750 radius. Turn extension dia. & the remaining half of 1.750 radius. How do I make NX overlap the stopping point on the turning & radius cut? Right now it stops at the same point in the radius for both cuts. I've tried all of the...

    NX - CAM Machine Control -->Motion Output Section

    Mark Rief, I believe that's a parametric canned cycle. I'm just using straight turning, facing and cutting radii. I couldn't find anything on it in the training manual. Thanks for clearing it up for me. Curtis E. Wright

    NX - CAM Machine Control -->Motion Output Section

    Three options are listed > Linear Only, Circular and Machine Cycle. I understand Linear Only and Circular but, what does Machine Cycle represent?

    PB 9.0 - Circular Motion

    My post is in the notching mode (XZ) moves for cutting a radius. I have the following filled out on the "Circular Move" data definitions page: G94 G02 G90 X Z R F Also, on the machine tool page, I have checked "Output Circular Record" I would appreciate any ideas to help. Thanks.

    PB (9.0) Date Format Problem

    Rick D. I tried changing the time format but I got an error. I'm new at NX PB, so could you take a look at the attached (2) files and correct my problems? Thanks Curtishttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=de03ec46-955c-4433-9187-76ca87f1db09&file=PB_CMD_prog_start.tcl

    PB (9.0) Date Format Problem

    Simple way to change the standard mom_date "APR 12, 2016" over to 04/12/2016? I'm trying to follow an example that I have but it doesn't seem to be working. Also, how to change the military time clock to regular time with AM & PM used?

    NX 9.0 CAM- Programming

    Mark, I'm just trying to establish a clearance retract in each Departure Point (YC= 21.500) and call it a variable. I can then change this variable and it will take care of the retracts in all of my operations when my part Dia. changes. If I could assign a variable name, then I wouldn't have...
