missing section string while extruding

missing section string while extruding

missing section string while extruding

(OP)
I have a sketch, just a rectangle: 0,01mm by 0,001mm
NX refuses to extrude this. It responds with an alert: Missing section string.
When I change the value from 0,01 to 0,03 it will extrude.
Which Setting in NX is responsible for this behaviour?

RE: missing section string while extruding

If the length is smaller than the modeling tolerances, NX might be ignoring the object. Try changing your modeling tolerance to something much smaller than the smallest distance that you will be working with. Preferences -> modeling -> distance tolerance will change the modeling tolerance for the current part. If you want to make this your default when creating new files, you may need to update the setting in your template parts and/or your customer default file.

RE: missing section string while extruding

I must ask, what are you modeling that requires an edge length of 0.001mm?

Thank you for the fast reply, it works!
I will change this in the template file and Customer defaults.
