help NX6 no longer perform the join operation

[ARPERO]

Good morning
Someone of you could help me.
Since last week my ugs NX6 no longer perform the joining operation. Although listed in the part navigator in the model still appear disjointed parts.
As if I did and when I want to or subtract some hole lake I have to do so because although the individual parts together does not recognize it as one,
I hope I can help and sent a picture of how the model appears after you have joined
Greetings you soon

What do you mean by 'Join Operation'? I'm not sure what you're taking about. Note that there is a 'Join Face' function, but that will NOT act on separate bodies only on faces within a single body. And then there is a 'Join Curve', but this while acts on separate objects, those objects are limited to only curves.

Perhaps if you took a different attempt at explaining it or if you included some images or even part files it might help.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

maybe try editing the "join" and reselcting the faces,
or completely deselecting them and then reselecting them

What I want is to unite two bodies
But after doing the operation
Still appear the lines dividing
Both bodies as if they were individual

Can you show a picture of what it looks like?

 

[JohnRBaker]

Try this, if after 'Uniting' two bodies and you get 'extra edges', go to...

Insert -> Trim -> Join Face...

...and with the 'Join Method' set to 'On Same Surface', select the body and hit OK. Now if a message comes up stating that it 'Failed to change topology' that means that the 'extra edges' cannot be removed and the model is what it is.

If that doesn't work then maybe try "replace face"
Use any one of the faces as the "face to replace" and the other face as the "replacement face"

You do get this sometimes when frankly you wish it wouldn't happen. Many times it seems to be a lottery whereby there are cases when you know the two faces aren't going to be technically coincident, and others when you're pretty sure they are but you still get that rotten wound line. Between replacing and/or deleting the offending faces one can usually get back to what you probably desire. Sometimes especially if the geometry really isn't the same but merely similar looking you may even have to remove blends.

At the end of the day I seldom if ever take the view that the geometry is what it is. I take the view that my job as a modeller is to bend the geometry to my will so I make it my business to come up with ways to make that happen. It is whatever I want it to be.
