    Chaining tolerance

    Hi all, I am having a problem with spline creation. It is starting with a face that was originally created by sketch that was tangently connected arcs. I then extruded another face with face normals and taper. When I create my spline by combined projection it fails because of non tangent faces...

    Twisted surface using Through Curves

    Gieter, Place datum of sketch plane using CSYS Constructor's "X-axis Y-axis Origin mode" with the filter setting "At Angle". This will let you place a circle instead of separate arcs to align orientation.

    Using Law Curves

    What is the procedure for using the law curve method for blends. I created a sketch for the law curve but not sure if it must be the exact length of the perimeter being blended. I'm not sure which items UG NX2 is asking to select. Also, what are some examples for using law curves in general as...

    Equally spaced construction points

    Is there a way to create specified number of construction points on an elaborate sketch and be equally spaced automatically? (as in a bolt hole pattern) Thanks in advance Enduro99

    Elaborate bolt hole pattern

    I like the idea of a sketch as a guide string. Thanks mjcole. Attn: cowski, a rectangle with filleted corners with 180^ arcs centered on two of the sides. I guess it can be broken down symmetrically, whats your idea? Thanks in advance Enduro99

    Elaborate bolt hole pattern

    What is the solution for an elaborate (not symmetrical) equally spaced bolt hole pattern? Thanks in advance Enduro99

    free form swept as guide from projection on sheet

    The setting along vector did the trick. But what is the process for using face normals setting. I can't get any simple sketch to work. Creates erroneous lines not in sketch and when the sketch looks correct, I still get error messages. What gives? Thanks in advance Enduro99

    free form swept as guide from projection on sheet

    Sketch is tangent and coincindent on all arc end points but will not project correctly with associate setting on. Only option is to use curve operation join to fix gaps in spline or non associative spline at creation. I'm starting think this can't be done in UG. Any other ideas... Thanks in...

    free form swept as guide from projection on sheet

    Trying to create a swept free form guide string by insert projection of a sketch onto sheet surface consisting of two extruded arcs. Creates guide that is failing during swept process (some strng members are not tangent) among others. String created needs to be cleaned up manually, lines are...

    edge blend with variable radius?

    Thanks to all for the helpful info but, I have another related question. Whats the easiest way to measure a radius on a edge that has been tapered? I've been using geometric properties under analysis. The value shows up in point constructor dialog fields. Thanks in advance! Enduro99

    edge blend with variable radius?

    What is the quickest way to perform a variable radius. start and finish radius differ on same edge?

    square to round with free form swept

    I changed the tolerance value to 0 and it now allows me to select all corner sections.

    square to round with free form swept

    The pick order and direction, the four arc's rotated at 45^ off center and parameter setting for blend gave me a squrae to round. The problem i'm having now is to edge blend the four corners of the square leading toward the round. Only two of the edges are selectable in my case. I created the...

    square to round with free form swept

    According to "Practical Unigraphics Modeling For Engineers" I quote "Section strings are not required to have corresponding numbers of curve segments, but if they are the resultant surface shape will often be smoother". I already tried breaking the circle into four seperate...

    square to round with free form swept

    I've used many modelling programs over the years and have just begun to learn UG NX 2. I am having trouble creating a square to round using swept command with one guide string on center of two sketches. I've already tried the zero tolerance thingy, i'm beginning to lose my patience. This...
