NX4 Free Form Tutorials

[baggieboy]

Hi. I was wondering if anyone knew where i could find some NX4 Free forming tutorials as i couldn't really find any in NX4 help. Perhaps there are some in there?
Otherwise are there any other places i could go to get some?
The thing is i am starting a new job soon where i will be using free forming but i do not have much knowledge about it at the moment and would like to teach myself a little. Thanks in advance!

Hey,
There is a book you can get from amazon.com. Just go there and search for NX4. Its called "Basic and Intermediate NX4 Modeling, Drafting, and Assemblies (Paperback)". I found the table of contents on another site but I forgot where it was. The book seems ok, read the reviews on it though. Its $102, which is a little more than the NX training for $95, but you get to keep the book forever. Some things on the table of contents that might interest you is the Helix section in Chapter 3 and Detail Features (edge and face blend, Draft, CHamfer, Bridge surfaces) in chapter 7, Basic Techniques (positioning dimensions, shell features, offset, trim body, split body, thicken sheet, tube features, sheet metal flange) in chapter 8, and chapter 9, Intermediate Curves.
Also to consider, most places that use Unigraphics also have CAST, which is the tutorial that comes with NX, and they should have a documentation section, where you can look up commands and buttons. I thought to CAST and Documentation tutorials were ok, but by far the best thing is using forums, and its free.

Hope this helps,
Rick
