Major Problem with NX 7.5.4.4?
Major Problem with NX 7.5.4.4?
(OP)
Hola!
First, could someone explain how I go about submitting a problem to the GTAC server, or is there a FAQ somewhere explaining it? Is a "problem" the same as an "incident"?
I recently installed NX 7.5.4 and have been modeling, and using CAM without a problem. Today I started a new drawing of a part, and I'm unable to section it. Actually, I get the section lines to display, but no section view! I've checked on our other computers that have NX 7.5.4, and they all experience the same thing.

A co-worker has also just completed a system restore and the section view is working for him too, although he went back to NX 7.5.2.5.

Problem solved! It's NOT an NX problem after all. Somehow, "Create Section Line" was toggled "Without Section View". Odd.
In any event, a simple 2 minute call and I'm back to work.

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

Analysis -> Examine Geometry...
...operation on all of the solid bodies in the part file(s). Note that when a Section View is created, in the background a series of something like a Boolean 'Subtract' is performed in order to get the geometry of the 'sectioned model' which is then displayed in the newly created section view. If there are consistency problems with the Master Model's topology or there are some self-intersecting faces, they will show up when creating a section view the same as would occur if you had attempted to cut your models in half using a Boolean Subtract while working in the Modeling module.

I have the same error as jakerooni:
"Error: Unable to subtract solids for sectioning."
Examine geometry does not seem to give any errors.
The problem only occurs when I put my section through one specific line in the drawing. Any ideas?
