Circular Ramping NX6
Circular Ramping NX6
(OP)
I want to rough out a boss on a part, I can manually program the 3 axis move with G02 or G03 & X, Y & Z move and it works fine. . . I cant get NX to do this? ? ? the work around I did was create a helix and told the tool path to follow this, but its giving me points verses circular moves.

This is sort of true...
You need to check 2 things first;
1. Within the operation, expand the MACHINE CONTROL dialog. Check that the "motion output" is set to "circular Perp to TA"
2. Your post must contain the custom command "PB_CMD_init_helix"
with those 2 things verified, then yes, a true helix will output with G02's and G03's.
It's tricky to get NX to output a helix. I think most of us aerospace programers have just gotten use to the thousands and thousands of tiny XYZ moves. Modern controllers have no issues with this type of program.

You got that right. My largest projects this year require using third party posts that are setup (or not really setup) to except no circle records at all except for the failsafe pin moves. Someday...
