Adding custom stock to the mechanical routing
Adding custom stock to the mechanical routing
(OP)
Greetings!
I'm struggling to understand how to add custom stock to the NX6 mechanical routing module. I failed to find any info about that in the program help. I need to add some plastic air hoses to properly model the pneumatic device.
Could anybody please explaing me how custom stock is added?

RE: Adding custom stock to the mechanical routing
1. Create parameterized model (or sketch)
2. Edit all necessary data in Part Families (Tools -> Part Families)
3. Create part family and save Excel file as your_file_name.txt (MS-DOS) to your_NX_install_dir\ugroute_mech\utils\
4. Save your file to your_NX_install_dir\ugroute_mech\metric(or inch)\parts\ with your_file_name.prt
5. Start->Run->CMD: your_NX_install_dir\ugroute_mech\utils\ss2ptb.exe your_file_name.txt; the new file with name your_file_name.ptb will be created.
6. Move your_file_name.ptb to your_NX_install_dir\ugroute_mech\metric(or inch)\tables\
7. Edit your_NX_install_dir\ugroute_mech\appview\ugroute_mech_metric(inch).plv
This is what I know. I've tried to make a rectangular profile, but had an error. Mb who knows this better will suggest somethink ;)
