Auomatically finding part cube size ??
Auomatically finding part cube size ??
(OP)
Does any one know of a way for NX to automatically calculate the "rough" square of a part based on a wcs.
I am looking to automate the parts list to add rough block sizes for material ordring with out having to manually select and record the "cube size".

That probably just means that it is a fairly old grip program. Grip always knew the WCS co-ordinate system but only latterly did we have techniques to reference it back to absolute. Like many I have probably used this and also wrote a few that output point co-ordinate tables, or worked with cmm data etc... you originally had to reference one of the standard views supposing that it's co-ordinate system was set to absolute.
