NX5 Manufacturing Tool Lists
NX5 Manufacturing Tool Lists
(OP)
Hi,
I am trying to find a good way to give my tool list data to the shop floor.
Something highly automated. Ideally, something with a picture.
Anyone have any great solutions or ideas?
Also, you know when you verify a program the tool shows up as a solid based on the tool and holder definition?
Can I access that solid in anyway? It might be handy to make sketches for complex custom tools.
Thanks,
JAY

RE: NX5 Manufacturing Tool Lists
In some versions after you use the verify the Solid Model of the tool will be available when you select Window - More and select the tool from the list.
As far as a tool list have you looked at the Shop Doc's option?

RE: NX5 Manufacturing Tool Lists
I am using NX5
Yeah, I can see the tool in my assy navigator and everything, but I can't seem to select it or save it or do anything with it. It's only there for the verify to use. The WINDOW>MORE option is greyed out when verify is running.
I have played around with shop docs and without major customization, those are no good to me. I'm too picky. :P
Perhaps, given the time, I will write my own shop docs post.
Thanks,
JAY
