Global shaping By Surface NX8.5 not the same than NX7.5

Global shaping By Surface NX8.5 not the same than NX7.5

Global shaping By Surface NX8.5 not the same than NX7.5

(OP)
The global shaping by surface was modified in NX8.5 and the result is not the same than NX7.5

I have joined 2 parts:

- global_shaping_by_surface_NX7.5.prt

- global_shaping_by_surface_NX8.5.prt to compare the 2 results

I agree that the Control Surface must be longer (It works in NX8.5 with another section), but this method was OK in NX7.5

I hope that somebody have a solution because I have a lot of part with this method.

I know that I can use "Copy the Old Feature" and "Past It" to retrieve the old menu, but is there any way to launch the old menu directly ?

Thanks in advance

I'll check if the old menu is still available other then when editing a legacy Global Shaping feature, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

That being said, the original reference surface can be easily modified using the 'Enlarge' surface function (just select the 'Natural' mode and toggle OFF the 'Edit a Copy' option) as I did in the modified version of your NX 8.5 example attached below.

Hi John,

Thanks John to have a look. I have already found this WA.

Now I am waiting for your first suggestion

So far the people I've talked to have not been able to find anything. I have one more inquiry still out but it's not looking good.
