extrude a line with offset and draft
extrude a line with offset and draft
(OP)
When I extrude a line with offset and draft, NX6 (6.0.3.6) does not add draft to the 2 end faces. Is this working as intended? Because previous versions (NX2 at least) would add draft to those faces.
Specific options I am using:
Limits: input values
Boolean: none
Draft: from start limit (any angle input)
Offset: symmetric (any value), I have also tried 2-sided
Body Type: solid

RE: extrude a line with offset and draft
Another thing that also occurs is that extruding with combinations of draft and offset may not work if the base profile is off the plane or curve in 3D space. Maybe that applies although you may be unaware of it.

Any possibility for bringing it back? It was very handy for adding ribs to molded parts. You could get the entire rib with an extrude feature, trim it if necessary and unite - done.

(In NX2 we were using the old style dialogs for extrude, revolve, etc).

RE: extrude a line with offset and draft
I wanted to add some raised symbols and ribs onto the back of a moulded plastic part and it seemed silly that an operation presumably added to reduce features only performed half the job when applied to a single line rather than a closed loop, and still required an addition function to complete the drafting.
I assume there is a sensible reason for this funtionality to have been removed, but it does seem like an obvious thing to keep in? Perhaps it has been included in NX7?
