    Extrude Problem

    here is the original part. what i was trying to do was to modify the defining basic curves of the first "extrude". i changed everything at once. it became the first one that i uploaded - all the underlying features are lost to the base body. The funny thing is then I changed strategy - just...

    Extrude Problem

    Hi Having a problem with "extrude". Attached is the part that has the problem What happened: after I edit/trim/delete some of the curves that used to extrude the base body the underlying features became no longer attached to it. I tried different approaches. If every time change just a little...

    Subtract Problem

    So John is there any easier way to fix this? (By the way feature 15 is the actual problematic one, not 14. That's why John and cowski didn't catch the right one. My fault. I turned the feature off). Before NX6 this problem happened. But it's really easy to fix.

    Subtract Problem

    i had same problems in NX2 and NX4. but never had this kind of problem that I couldn't fix in NX6. And it happened a lot more frequently in NX6. yeah i know i had quite some complaint over NX6. This is ridiculous!!! It's supposed to make the design easier and quicker. The reality is after a few...

    Subtract Problem

    I'm a bit frustrated here. Tried again. Still a no go. Can someone please upload the part after subtracting? I made that diametre to 19. but failed at 19.5. And it became OK when I increased that diametre to 27. Thanks

    Subtract Problem

    Hi having a problem with the subtracting. trying to cut the green mother block by using the white cylinder. somehow it couldn't be cut until the diametre was reduced to 16 or less. but i do need 20mm diametre attached is the file thsnks

    Reference sets in NX6

    i did more test on the ref set. no way i could scrap it. there is some slight difference between NX4 part and fresh NX6 part. It's better if a new NX6 part is used. The components can be picked from the assembly tree. at least now i can use ref set manually with the same fuctionality. still...

    Reference sets in NX6

    Breif study has been done based on the documentation. And hands on experiment also have been performed. Obviously arrangements is not intend to "filter" the display. All the components/subass can be flip on/off no matter how i define the arrangement. Anyways thanks for your help John. I'm not...

    Reference sets in NX6

    John thanks for trying to help me here. But I think I still have to go back to use ref sets. Arrangements is not designed to "filter". Pretty sad here. Such a good tool and we have been using it since for ever(never had any problem with it). i don't quite understand what you meant by "and thus...

    Reference sets in NX6

    Unfortunately John arrangement doesn't carry the "filter" function. I failed to block the unwanted components. Even I decided to do it manually I still can't get this ref sets around. It doesn't allow me to pick and unpick from the navigator tree. I'm totally screwed this time. John can you...

    Reference sets in NX6

    Looks like Ref Sets will be another good feature that will be tossed out of the window by some talented UG developers. Having said that I will look at arrangement (why UG doesn't keep developing new stuff around the old stuff instead of making up something new and make loyal long time UG users...

    Reference sets in NX6

    Sorry I forgot to mention there is a top assebmly has STG10, STG20, STG30, etc. They are the different work stations and will need to turn on/off frequently to make design easier.
