The UGS bbs is a good place to start. You will need to get used to using the Postbuilder software, hopefully your company purchased this option. I would heavily suggest you take the Postbuilding class. UGS also has a section where you can download posts. I don't know how close they are, I...

I do not know if this is a problem in UG or not. It is in other packages. If you have hyper threading turned on, you might want to turn it off and see it that helps.

Take the training. With little or no CAM experience as you say, NX CAM will not be easy to pick up cold. The CAST training is good if you have someone who is familiar with CAM and how it works but someone like yourself you are in for a good deal of training and time. Welcome to NX CAM

You should check out PDMworks offered thru your Solidworks reseller. User friendly, will not require an IT person almost full-time and cost is quite reasonable. HTH

I have automatice probe cycles setup in my "other" CAM system. I am looking at how easy or difficult it will be to set up similiar cycles in NX. I need to be able to pick a point and have dialog box open up and depending on my choice of probe routines be able to define certain variables for my...

________________________________________ We have a seat of Esprit to program and simulate our B-Axis (Mori Seiki MT) machine because UG CAM hasn't really supported (well) this type of milling. _________________________________________ Doesn't anyone find this a problem? I mean we're paying...

Well if I understand what your asking here, it sounds like you are asking about what are commonly refered to as templates. I don't know how other people do it but it can be approached in many different ways with many different things included. When I begin a new CAM file from an existing...

Well I know your MCS will need to be set for the centerline of the part you will be doing on the mill-turn. The z axis will be laid out like you are standing in front of the lathe, z will face across your body. x will probably toward and away from you and the y will be up and down. Z plus will...

jelmerra, I know of what you speak. I am in the middle of doing it in this manner. I have Brent Welch's Practical Programming in TCL and TK, O'Reilly TCL/TK Pocket Reference as well as TCL/TK for Dummies. I was just curious if there is something out there a little more structured than doing...

Yes I have. It was a good course for getting to know how to use the Post Builder but what they touch on for TCL is really just enough to modify existing code. I feel it did not offer the depth that it appears is needed to really customize things the way I want and need.

Since UGS/GTAC does not actively support TCL or train in it beyond the bit they show you in the post builder course. Does anyone know where there is training and/or tutorials avaiable?

We use Cimco Editor. This software offers a file compare feature where you can look at the 2 files side by side and it will grapically show you the differences
