UG 13 to UG NX3

[bfoster59]

About 4 years ago I spent some time working with UG13 developing programs for CNC Machining (lathe primarily and some mill). 4 years later I'm back in engineering and now were at ver. NX3. I have been putzin around with it a bit but there are very few simularities. Are there any good books out there for UG NX3 training? I need all the help I can get. Right now I am doing all programming manually but it's a heavy load and I need to get the UG going quick.
Thanks Guys,
Bob

I have used CAST a little but I can only use it at work and my time is limited there. Thanks for the info though.

I came across this one before. I never checked it out, so I don't know how good or bad it is.

Hope this helps.

Paul,
I tried the link above but it appears the the site is no longer available. Check it out and see if it works for you. Meanwhile still looking for all the help I can get.

The link works for me. Steve is good at modeling, but limited on the manufacturing side.
Try

http://www.cadpo.com

for their i.get.it web-based training. You can run it from any web browser, anywhere.

Not sure what the ethics behind it are (or even if the documentation requires a license), but CAST is just a bunch of web pages in a folder on your drive. If you want to review at home, I would copy the folder and read through the documentation at home. It's not like you are taking a copy of UG, you're just taking the manual home. Don't bother with the .prt files.

The link works for me.
Try just going to their homepage.
I checked it out and it doesn't look like the book covers CAM.

No, it doesn't cover CAM. It covers modeling procedures and methods. I don't know of any books covering CAM, but hopefully someone will point you in the right direction.

Link is working now.. Not sure what happened earlier. Checking cadpro.com now.
