How to create Macro

Hi

How to create macro for taking cross-section and dumping in layer.

After importing part in UG, it should take lathe cross section and dump the cross section in particular layer.

Why are you creating a 'lathe' cross-section? Our NC Turning module allows for the automatice creation of an associative cross-section to be used to provide the profile used to create the toolpaths. When done as part of a Master Model NC model, there is no need to segregate the profile to a different layer since that profile will only exist in the NC model and not the Part model.

What version of NX are you using ?

Like John since NX4 you can use the solid model to "Spin" a lathe profile. Make sure you have a Workpiece defined, (this is the same "workpiece" object that is in milling) and pick the Solid model as the part geometry.
When you edit the turn_workpiece the boundary should already be there. See the attached image.
