    NX CAM, Hole milling with helical/spiral, floor not cleared

    @Tyngsryd Sadly it only applies at the end of spiral, but not at the beginning. Is there no other strategy where it would be possible? I cant imagine NX does not have this Option. NX 10.0.3.5 (NX13420N) TC 11.2.3

    NX CAM, Hole milling with helical/spiral, floor not cleared

    Is there a way to add cleanup pass between helical and spiral moves? One revolution at the floor so that whole floor area is even? See attachment Option cleanup passes only applies at the end of spiral but not after helical moves, why? Thanks in advance, Alex NX 10.0.3.5 (NX13420N) TC...

    NX CAM, engraving text on uneven surface, no extrusion in part, just text as constraint

    I'm using 60° engraving bit, something like this: https://www.banggood.com/0_1mm-60-Degree-Carbide-PCB-Board-Engraving-Bits-V-shape-CNC-Router-Tool-p-981849.html?cur_warehouse=CN Aluminium, 0.2mm engraving depth. NX 10.0.3.5 (NX13420N) TC 11.2.3

    NX CAM, engraving text on uneven surface, no extrusion in part, just text as constraint

    I figured it out: when selecting projected text one should select a plane where it was projected from (user defined), don't leave it on "automatic". Upd. summary for embossed engraving: op: fixed contour drive method: boundary drive geometry: > mode - curves/edges, > type - closed, >...

    NX CAM, engraving text on uneven surface, no extrusion in part, just text as constraint

    Thanks again, Tingsryd! So far so good, only one Thing: if i select original text on a plane as a constraint then the tool path is Looking good. But when i select projected text then i either get really wired looking tool path or there is no tool path at all and no error either. What's the deal...

    NX CAM, engraving text on uneven surface, no extrusion in part, just text as constraint

    Thanks Tingsryd, it worked. The thing with offset faces: how do you set it up exactly? I tried to select offset face as cut area (part stock is set to 0) but engraving path is still on surface and not below it. What am i doing wrong? Summary for embossed engraving: op: fixed contour drive...

    NX CAM, engraving text on uneven surface, no extrusion in part, just text as constraint

    Hi guys, i want to engrave some text on uneven surface. I was able to create op with single lined text and outlined text (fixed contour op + text on a surface). What i want is to engrave whole letters like a pocket but just with text on a surface as a constraint (no extrusion), look at the...
