    Profile Tolerances and Tooling Development

    Burunduk, Honestly I have already thought exactly what you and 3DDave have mentioned. I posted here to see if anyone using said tolerance scheme could tell me what I must be missing. I'm wondering if I'm up against the "thats not the way we have been doing it" mentality and people are not...

    Profile Tolerances and Tooling Development

    @Burunduk, That all makes sense and its why I would like to utilize profiles rather than position on something we typically call "that surface profile". Since I'm not a mold manufacturer I'm trying to find those tools that would allow me to say, hey, you do it like this and it's not really any...

    Profile Tolerances and Tooling Development

    I dont disagree 3DDave but what is the process for retooling once things are out of spec? How do you find the correct tooling change locations? Is there an easy way that people in industry correlate an out of spec location on a 3d scan to a 2d drawing?

    Profile Tolerances and Tooling Development

    Hello all, I am looking for some advice from people utilizing profile tolerancing schemes. I have proposed a host of drawings utilizing profile tolerances to simplify some drawings and better/more simply define what is desired from injection molded parts. I am getting push back from vendors...

    Sketch Color Import

    NX Pros, Whats the easy way to import sketch colors? It doesnt appear to save with a role or with my visualization template. Since every person I work with seems to have their own color scheme it would be nice to not have to manually change the color scheme of sketch info each time I open a...

    Radius to a reference

    I have yet to use the examine geometry command but I will give that a look and see if there is some errant geometry causing the failure. Toost, I understand what you are saying in regards to the G1,G2 curvature but I'm not concerned with how smooth that tranistion is, rather I want to get a...

    Radius to a reference

    Cowski, I appreciate the efforts with taking a look at this stuff but I cannot get that feature re-created in my model. I attached a screenshot as to what I get, which is the reason that I had asked for help. I dont understand why the radius wants to extend out into space. I tried selecting the...

    Radius to a reference

    Cowski, I'm running 12.0.2.9 and it says I'm unable to open due to it being created in a newer version. Would you mind posting a screenshot of the feature settings you used?

    Radius to a reference

    Thanks for the input its appreciated. There should be a parasolid attached to this reply. Toost, I can create a simple sketch/extrude to create a radius tangent with both edges that has its size driven by the limit face and all is well. What I dont want is to create an additional sketch entity...

    Radius to a reference

    Thanks Cowski but I'm not able to reproduce. I think the issue for me is the additional step on what you have as Face2. Its tough to see in the image I uploaded so my apologies there. Hard to help with an answer when you dont have the whole story. Try adding this and see what you think. I think...

    Radius to a reference

    Super Users, I need some help. !This might be simple but I cannot seem to find the right settings to make this work.! I want to make a radius and rather than place a size I want to select a reference surface to drive the blend size. I have sketched a G2 tangent blend so I know what the radius...

    Model dimensions in drawing

    Dave, After working with several previous software's and now moving to the NX sphere I have to agree with your initial statement about how models are created. I seldom open models that do not have additional features added rather than redefining previous ones appropriately. Its second nature at...

    Model dimensions in drawing

    @Jerry, Thank you for the reply and thinking about my question but when I say parametrically link I mean the model, the drawing and its dimensions are one in the same. I agree, NX works pretty much the same as other software minus a great deal of inferred intelligence, but it is what it is. In...

    Model dimensions in drawing

    @John Baker, Thank you for the info but I was really hoping to know if its possible to do what I'm asking in a non work around manner. What I'm asking is as simple as the extrude feature on other platforms so youre answer leads me to believe thats a no. If so that is fine, I have come to expect...
