    Swept-cut with a solid body along a helical path

    Is this functionality going to require a special license? I notice pocket blend was available in NX9 but is now part of NX10's Aero Design package requiring a separate license. Ray S NX9.0.3.4 MP1

    NX9 CAM... Tool Lists???

    Thanks John, I tried that and it worked great. How about the drafting issue though? Have you seen this behavior yourself? Ray S NX9.0.3.4 MP1

    NX9 CAM... Tool Lists???

    J the few times I've gone to the trouble to do this I've had problems as well.I couldn't remember the work around so I created file to try again. First the issue of creating/extracting a solid from your tool. Here's the explanation from the Siemens forum: "From the Tool view of the operation...

    Sweep along the guide with two different sections

    I sketched some circles on faces and that seemed to work Ray S NX9.0.3.4 MP1 http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=4e440599-0e51-4110-a799-52354dcc95f0&file=TUBO_DE_AR_r.prt

    NX9 - Delete Face Issue

    I'm not sure why it didn't work but I have noticed synchronous can be fussy sometimes. Ray S NX9.0.3.4 MP1 http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=63dedddf-e2e8-4ad1-af12-3be64b75d54e&file=d-face.avi

    Ansi standard 5 axis accuracy test block

    if you scroll down the pdf you'll see all kinds of standards for 5 axis machines. I didn't realize the model I attached was for a 4 axis horizontal. Ray S NX9.0.3.4 MP1

    Ansi standard 5 axis accuracy test block

    We just dealt with this, see attached. Ray S NX9.0.3.4 MP1 http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=76106071-0c89-4909-ac5f-0bad5c04934e&file=NAS979.zip

    BCL output

    The BCL file was generated from the CLS using a post CLS2CLF in NX's legacy GPM. GTAC's has pretty much confirmed the code. At this point I guess I'm looking for tips or advice from anyone who's used it. Ray S NX 7.0.1.7 www.appliedprecisionproducts.com

    Here's what it looks like with a binary file viewer. Still don't know what to make of it. Ray S NX 7.0.1.7 www.appliedprecisionproducts.comhttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=53465c3e-b082-454c-bf60-a67731ef463a&file=9-3-2014_3-33-25_PM.png

    BCL output

    Our company recently purchased an old Cincinnati gantry that runs on BCL. If anyone out there is familiar with this output, please take a look at the attached code and tell me if this looks right. No one in our programming dept. has ever seen anything like it. Thanks Ray S NX 7.0.1.7...

    4th Axis Machining Geometry

    What you're looking for is not all that unusual. The question is often asked in the form of "can I sweep a solid?", to which the answer is no, but there are work arounds. The people who are asking this question are looking for the same thing you are: to generate a model that acurately represents...

    z profile

    Later today I'll upload a file. As for your other programmer, I'll never understand that mindset. There are exceptions of course, but for the most part the software does get better. Thread milling for example pre 7.5 is awful. It looks like it hasn't been touched since V14. And yet some...

    z profile

    I would but it's an orphaned system. Hope to be back on maintenance by end of year. Probably already fixed. Thanks again. Ray S NX 7.0.1.7 www.appliedprecisionproducts.com

    z profile

    Tingsryd, thanks for the response, that's what I suspected. The distance between islands is about .06 and my cutter is .055. I did end up creating separate ops. for clusters of islands to avoid that behavior, kind of time consuming. What seemed buggy was that level cutting occurred at the top...

    z profile

    I'm having trouble controlling NCM behavior on a z profile op. I specified ramp between passes but it appears to disregard this part of the way down and uses transfer method. In addition, when it uses transfer method, it doesn't focus on one feature (depth first) but bounces back and forth...

    question for former UG/NX users

    Mr Limey and Mr Johnson. No, I did it on the fly when I went to open the file. I'll know better next time. Thanks for the help. Ray S NX 7.0.1.7 www.appliedprecisionproducts.com

    question for former UG/NX users

    Mr Limey, Actually, I had already tried to do exactly that, but when I selected the cut surface, I would get the following:"Cannot use selection. Allowing this selection would have created conflicts of contexts as mentioned earlier". "Mentioned earlier"? Actually it was, but I missed it the...
