What geometry structure to use for NX turn / mill operations?

[gnvk]

I am currently using the below structure (attached pic) for a turn / mill program. I have selected the blank and part in the Workpiece object in that hierarchy. However, when I run 3D verification for the whole program in NX, milling operations don't show material removal.

Can someone please help figure out what's a good hierarchical structure for turn / mill programs so that 3d verify shows material removal for both turning and milling operations?


Thanks!

Try to use this kind of hierarchy, and if I remember correctly you need to double-click the turning workpiece in order for nx to generate the workpiece.

Go to File New > Manufacturing > and pick Mill Turn (Express).
This will show you a good example of organizing the geometry view in the Operation Navigator.
