Turning Tutorial Problem
Turning Tutorial Problem
(OP)
Hi,
I am trying to work my way through the Manufacturing tutorials, I have only programed in Mastercam up until this point! So far there are a lot more clicks to make in NX...need to learn the shortcuts!
I was doing the the first turning tutorial and I am stuck, it won't let me select the geometry of the part. When I try it keeps selecting the bar stock. Not sure what I am doing wrong. See the attached photo.
Are there any good books available on Manufacturing in NX?
I have taken the Siemens course Introduction to NX for Experienced Users.
Thank you for any help.

RE: Turning Tutorial Problem
You can look at www.myigetit.com they have an on-line turning course, although I don't know how current it is. last time I checked they only had NX7.5
RE: Turning Tutorial Problem
I am also very new to NX so I might be way off on answering this, but I do know that if you stand on the surface for a moment, there usually will appear and ellipses ... click it and then you are presented with a submenu that you can choose the underlying objects from. As you mouse over the various objects, NX will highlight both the menu choice and the corresponding elements in the graphics area.
hth,
Gary
