Hello NX world

I seem to remember a post from a good while back (I can't find it for love nor money) where someone asked if it was possible to re-set the names of expressions and someone offered a program or some GRiP that would do that.

If somone could some one possibly please point me in the right direction, then I wouild be eternally gratefull.

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards

Life shouldn't be measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of times when it's taken away...

Thanks for the program it works a treat, even maintaining links to other expressions. Before I use it on live work parts could you let me know if there are any potential problems that you have experienced?

Simon,

I think you'll find this a slight improvement and examine geometry will tell that story for you as well. You just use a little control over the shape when you have a straight line meet and arc as one of the section curves of the freeform sheet that you're building using curve mesh.

You wouldn't normally check this but I urge you to look at the curvature comb of the edge of the sheet as it meets the flat section in your model. The funny little inflection is what may cause you some grief.

Best Regards

Hi Hudson

I think you posted your repy in the wrong thread, but any how thanks for the model. There doesn't look to be a lot in either of them. I know mine was no 'A' surface, however I tried your method and whilst it was better in some areas, it was worse in others. Again there are a hundred different ways to achieve the same outcome.
