Nx10 cam - Do changes to your model cascade down to manufacturing?
(OP)
Hi Guys,
how can I make changes in the model area of my part and have them come down into the manufacturing environment? Is this possible? For example I change the extrusion distance of a simple part from 10 to 15mm in modeling and say a hole feature but no matter what I do I can't seem to make toolpath feature in
manufacturing update accordingly. It wants to keep the old part dimensions. Even if I delete the machining operation and create it new it goes off the original part dimensions... Am I missing something here? Is there a feature like in the drawing environment to update the manufacturing environment and make
it work from the new model dimensions?
cheers,
James

all within a single part file. Create simple part, go directly from modeling into manufacturing...
I get the message 'the machining feature is deleted, no inprocess feature will be created' if I try to edit the existing machining operation created before I made a change in my part model..
If I delete the operation in machining and try to make a new one it gives the same result.

It would appear the machining environment is a little sensitive as to how you create your features in modeling. I checked back and found I had done something I don't normally do. An element of my sketch was extruded
separately/after the initial extrusion. The machining environment did not like this. When I deleted this and created it in the initial sketch extrusion it all works....
