    Hi All, I keep getting this information window warning message when I switch between modeling and manufacturing or when I start NX new and call up this part file. Anyone know how to stop or turn off this warning as there is NO problem with the toolpath and I have many of these blends programmed...

    Split Body not working in NX11

    Hi Michal, I ended up uninstalling and re-installing NX11 with "typical" as well but did not use "customize" the 1st time. It is working now. Contacted GTAC but they could not help me. Regards, Rick Win7 64 bit w/NX10.0.3.5 MP14 and NX11.0.1.11 MP1 Vericut 8.0

    Split Body not working in NX11

    When I try to use split body in NX11.0.1.11 MP1 I get an error message "A deleted or invalid class id was used". Then nothing. Anyone run across this one? So far everything else seems OK. Rick D Win7 64 bit w/NX9.0.3.4 MP9 and NX10.0.3 Vericut 7.4

    Inverse Time

    I have a postprocessor set up for inverse time and occasionally it puts out a G94 with an angle in the line (see example code below). I thought if there is an angle in the move it should be G93. Anyone know if this is correct behavior and if not how to stop the post from putting a G94 out on a...

    NX10 journal not showing dialog box

    Thanks Cowski, Haven't done a journal in a while and think I forgot that they need a selection method and simple dialog from within VB. Now if I can only get the selection to work. Rick D Win7 64 bit w/NX9.0.3.4 MP9 and NX10.0.3 Vericut 7.4

    UDE and Postprocessor

    Hi All, I'm using the UDE "Set Modes" to change the feederate in a toolpath to FRN from default IPM. Does anyone know a way at the "End of Path" or anywhere in the post to change it back to IPM mode without using the UDE again. The Address G_feed stays G93 after being set in the UDE and I...

    Export .STL file in NX10

    I have discovered if the WCS is moved so part is all plus coordinates I do not get "ERROR CREATING FACET BODY". In previous versions this was not the case you would get warning the part has negative coordinates but it would still export the .STL file. Problem remains that if moved from MCS (and...
