revolved cut with a body?
(OP)
Hello
¿Is there in NX an option to "cut" a body with another body?, (revolving the second one through a path). Where?
That option exists in Solidworks, so I guess it should exist in NX too.
regards

It is OK to enter the command as it is called out in a differnt CAD system.
The "Command Finder" icon can be toggled "on", on your "Standard" toolbar.

But how can I sweep the body?
Once I choose sweep the only option I have is to choose a curve but not a solid body (the tool I want to use to cut).
Imagine I want to use a cube to cut a cylinder, and be able to specify the rotation of that cube.

I thought I could, NX it's a high end software.
I think some others like Topsolid can

I don't have the example yet, I'm speaking in general.
Using a face of the body is only a good idea if it isn't rotated.

Now, forget how Solidworks does things (I don't have a problem with Solidworks, just don't think in those terms) - think of how you want to create the bodies (Extrude, Revolve or Sweep). If you can get the bodies to intersect COMPLETELY as solids, then simply use the Subtract command - the Target will be the body you keep and the Tool is the "cutter". If you can't get the bodies to completely intersect as solids, there are other options that might work using sheets (surfaces) such as Trim Body.
You're going to quickly find that there are many different ways to skin a cat in NX - there isn't going to be ONE command that does ONE job, like many of the mid-range softwares might have.
