circular hole radus

Hi,
I want to change the circular hole radius with move face radial distance motion option - doesn't work look attached movie- nx7.5.4 a bug or is my usage wrong
regards

RE: circular hole radus

It's your usage, but that's really irrelevant since what you're attempting to do is supported by Synchronous Modeling.  But I suspect that what's confusing you is the implication that perhaps if you were use a 'Motion' option titled 'Radial Distance' that perhaps that is what it will do.  Sorry, that 'Motion' option is just another way of defining a distance along a vector, in this case a radial distance relative to an axis but it's still only a distance measurement whose results would have been no different than if you had done Distance, the only difference is that with Distance you're entering an incremental value whereas with Radial Distance you're entering the actual distance from the axis.

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

Nx/Siemens should offer this in that motion option like I intended to do. Would be very yxes <-
thx John -  

RE: circular hole radus

I think the command you are looking for is 'offset face', a modeling command that has been around for years; or 'offset region', which you will find in synchronous modeling.

I want to change the diameter of all centerpoints of the hole pattern at once, the offset is no option
thx
