Error with Tool Path not Intersecting

Error with Tool Path not Intersecting

Error with Tool Path not Intersecting

(OP)
I'm getting an error message that says "Through face does not intersect path tool", Problem is is that it does cross the tool path. Catia has a "Sketch Analysis" function. Does NX have anything like that? What is going on here?

RE: Error with Tool Path not Intersecting

Try running the "examine geometry" command. At a minimum, turn on the "data structure", "consistency", and "face intersections" body checks along with the "self-intersection" face check then window select around all the suspect geometry (clicking on a body will only select that body, windowing around the body will also select all the faces and edges) and press the "examine geometry" button. If any issues are reported for the checks listed above, they will need to be fixed; these types of errors can/will cause other operations to fail.

Sorry for the delayed response but thanks again. That tool helped a ton.
