Blend 1

[cubalibre000]

Hi,
which blend type or options must set to obtain the same radius in the opposite edge ?
I need to use blend feature.
No workaround.
No mirror surface, only blend command.

Thank you...

In response to Tim's parenthetical comment, note that with the next release of NX we are going to support 'Conic Edge Blends'. The traditional 'Edge Blend' dialog will now have two options, 'Circular' and 'Conic'. Nothing has changed for 'Circular', but if you select the 'Conic' option you will have a choice if 3 methods, 'Boundary and Center', 'Boundary and Rho' and 'Center and Rho'. With 'Boundary and Center' you we be asked to provide the radius of the blend at both the Boundary (start and end points) and at the Center, while the other two methods will provide a single radius value, at the Boundaries or the Center, and the Rho value of the desired Conic profile.

And before anyone asks; YES, there will be support for creating both Multi-'Radius' and Variable-'Radius' Conic Edge Blends, just like what you can do now with 'Circular' Edge Blends.

John,

Thanks for the update. Wish I were still using NX to see it in action. I really miss using it. Not so impressed with what I've seen in v5....not much bang for the buck, IMO.

Ok I looked at in a partner company,
it is done with linear fillet from 6.6 to 10 mm.
you can do the same in Nx only the result is different?!?
Seems to be controlled from spime curve / edge

Using a 5mm to 8.5mm variable radius edge blend comes darn close (see attached NX 7.0 model). The original Catia model is on Layer 1 and the NX model is on Layer 2.
