Dang. It's even the first thing that pops up in NX help after filtering all searches to Assemblies and typing "order" in the "Find topics that have all these words" box. Lesson learned!

Dern-it! My search-fu is weak. I thought I had seen that right-click feature in a youtube video. Sadly, I was right-clicking the top of the column, not the top assembly. Heck, it even tells me (Order: Chronological) right beside it. [blush] Thanks so much cowski!

Hola! When I add new components to an assembly part in NX9 (full version: NX 9.0.0.19 MP1) they appear at the bottom of the Descriptive Part Name column of the Assembly Navigator. "Refreshing" the column by toggling the sort order up and down doesn't help. I understand that I can now re-order...

Hola! The Chip Control function when grooving has been a life saver. I'm machining some gummy aluminum and no matter what I try with my speeds and feeds I cannot break the chips. My coworker is forced to pause the machine to manually pullout long ribbons of aluminum. When using the Rough Bore...

Ah! I didn't know that. In any event, I'm proceeding with my CAM work without the blend, and GTAC has already converted the IR to a PR with a very impressive sounding "priority code of 1 Critical". I'll update this thread when I have some news.

No change. I even removed the blends from the sketch, and added them to the model as a feature. When the blend feature is on, the taper shows up in the Spun Outline. Turn the blend feature off, the taper goes away. Anyway, I'm sending the models and CAM setup to GTAC today. Hopefully they will...

NX 8.0.2.2 The Turning_Workpiece geometry was generated using Automatic.

Well, I don't know why, but the corner radius is causing the Spun Outline to be tapered. Nominal is R.016", and that is what I started with. If I remove the R.016" from the Sketch, the Spun Outline is updated and the taper is gone. Any radius, as small as R.001" causes the spun outline to be...

I agree. I was going way back and checking the model sketch, and values and constraints within. Info > Object is much handier.

Here you go (see attached txt file). Both arcs have the same radius. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=37371618-c051-4479-8903-b70f4ef61690&file=Object_Info.txt

Here is another picture measuring the diameter beside the tapered one. (I know this is contrary to what John just suggested, but I wanted to submitted it for comparison with the first picture.)...

Damn. Forgot the picture too. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=6fd4139d-42a4-40d2-ae7f-a379f76cc7b1&file=Solid.JPG

Shough = show. How the hell did I miss that? [blush]

Hi John, I'm unsure which analysis tool to measure the circular edges at each end of the bore. However, I did use Minimum Radius to measure the cylinder (see the attached picture). The radius was 0.3075 (or Ø.615). Is this enough to shough that there is no taper in the model? [ponder]

Yes, it was the correct axis. I had measured all the other "diameters" of the spun oultine the same way as in the picture, and all are consistent with the model (no tapers, all values accurate to >10 decimal places).

Hola! What could be causing a local discrepency between a model and its spun outline? I have a spun outline that is inaccurate in one area. Please see the attached picture. I have checked and re-checked my model and can not understand why the spun outline is giving me this .0001-ish taper in the...

The layers appear fine. I don't use too many, and the ones I needed are visible. Also, all the points (and sketches for that matter), are visible when I create a New Base view.

I've been down this road before (thread561-250212), but now there are some new wrinkles. [banghead] I'm on NX 8.02 now, and I still can't understand why there isn't a simple way to dimension angles using gage lines in drafting. Regardless, my problem is this time I am completing a drawing that...

"Forging by definition is hot working" That's certainly true enough. I was comparing forging to casting; red hot versus liquid metal. Forging is certainly not "cold". :~/ I guess I was refering to the type of deformation taking place. I think cold working and forging both involve some type...

Well, this has been a useful post for me. Though sadly, it seems the barstock Ø for cold working maxes out at Ø8". Probably a third of the stuff we work with is between Ø9-15". I guess the next thing to consider is forging versus barstock, as forging is probably considered another form of cold...
