NX6 parametric measure distance
NX6 parametric measure distance
(OP)
Hi all,
I used to be able to Measure Distance in Associative mode and toggle on create line. I believe in past versions the line updated if you changed the model. I think there were 2 options in an expression Measure Distance. One to Create Line and another to Create Points. These also updated when the model was revised.
Is this feature gone in NX6? I cant seem to get it to work now and update the resulting line.
Thanks all!!!

If anyone has a trick to get a minimum distance line that updates, or min distance points that update...greatly appreciated!!
Thanks all!!

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Do you know of any way to get the measuremnt data and create a point or line from it. I want a parametric line or points that update as the geometry changes.

If you're serious about something like this, perhaps it could be done using KF (Knowledge Fusion), creating a line which would update as the bodies moved or were modified.

Would a bridge curve work between two points? If it does, then it would be an associative line.
