Greetings!

I'm struggling to understand how to add custom stock to the NX6 mechanical routing module. I failed to find any info about that in the program help. I need to add some plastic air hoses to properly model the pneumatic device.

Could anybody please explaing me how custom stock is added?

I found only this info:
1. Create parameterized model (or sketch)
2. Edit all necessary data in Part Families (Tools -> Part Families)
3. Create part family and save Excel file as your_file_name.txt (MS-DOS) to your_NX_install_dir\ugroute_mech\utils4. Save your file to your_NX_install_dir\ugroute_mech\metric(or inch)\parts\ with your_file_name.prt
5. Start->Run->CMD: your_NX_install_dir\ugroute_mech\utils\ss2ptb.exe your_file_name.txt; the new file with name your_file_name.ptb will be created.
6. Move your_file_name.ptb to your_NX_install_dir\ugroute_mech\metric(or inch)\tables7. Edit your_NX_install_dir\ugroute_mech\appview\ugroute_mech_metric(inch).plv

This is what I know. I've tried to make a rectangular profile, but had an error. Mb who knows this better will suggest somethink ;)
