Subtract error?

Subtract error?

Subtract error?

(OP)
I have two solid bodies and am trying to subtract one from the other. The error message it is giving me is one I have never had before and wondered if anyone had any ideas?

Modeler error : objects are not all in the same partition

Many thanks in advance and I'm using NX4

RE: Subtract error?

Must be a new NX4 error because I'm still on 3 and I'm sure I've seen every error they have!...lol

RE: Subtract error?

Technically this should never happen.  This is related to the way Parasolid tracks bodies and this should not occur as a result of an operation performed in NX.

Question: did either of these bodies get imported in from another system, either via IGES/STEP or through Parasolid exchange files?

Whatever, you should contact GTAC as we will need to see this part and we might even be able to "repair" it.

RE: Subtract error?

Sorry for 'hijacking' this thread, but a related question for John:

Why are people suddenly having so many issues performing Booleans?  When NX3 was first launched, I do not recall there being issues like this.  Any ideas?

TIA

I'm not sure, but that's why we need to see the actual parts.
