NX 9 cam - turning - customize - diameter dimensions instead of radius dimensions

NX 9 cam - turning - customize - diameter dimensions instead of radius dimensions

(OP)
Hallo,

Is there a possibility to set up the NX 9 turning CAM to display X coordinate in a diameter measure not the radius?

Verify toolpath function display the X coordinate as a radius measure - i want to display as a diameter.

(I already changed similar setting in the postprocessor but cannot find this setting in the NX)



thank you for help.

RE: NX 9 cam - turning - customize - diameter dimensions instead of radius dimensions

Hi,

It is not possible to set NX to display diameter values. The values you seen in Verify_Tool_Path function is the CLS data with respect to the co-ordinate system, you cannot apply any multiplication factor to it.
