    Convert components from an assembly into one single part.......

    You can create non-assiciative linked bodies, then delete the components.

    Distance constraint incompatible with cylindrical

    I would try locating a point on the center of the distal stem, then align that point with a datum plane set 5mm + the radius of the stem above the green surface, Simpler math for NX and it won't go negative.

    NX 2212: Subtraction error.......

    Check your sketch. I created a sketch with 3 circles (2 identical) and extruded the feature curves. I got 2 solids from one extrude. Maybe the sheet body comes from an almost complete full arc.

    NX 2212 - Sheets from curves..............

    You would need to recreate the Pattern Geometry but with associativity turned off.

    No need to enlarge the bounded planes, Face Blend will span the gaps:

    NX2312 Swept twisting issue

    You can break the section curves down to 2 curves instead of one, i.e. 2 arcs instead of a circle.

    Dialog Boxes, Pausing randomly

    It doesn't happen on exiting the dialogue box, but it seems like the measurement function does lock up my computer for a minute or so maybe 10% of the time. Haven't really noticed any other hang ups. NX1953.

    New Sketcher vs the old Sketcher

    I will cling to the old sketcher as long as possible, then probably retire. I've been a NX fanboy for decades, not so much with the new sketcher.

    Using if expressions for creating law curves

    Looks like it works.

    Using if expressions for creating law curves

    In the camber line equation in pic #3, what do p, t, m, and c represent?

    CENTERLINE FROM A TUBE BODY

    Actually, Isoparametric does work, I just forgot to set it for U and V.

    CENTERLINE FROM A TUBE BODY

    I used the edges to create a ruled sheet body but isoparametric curves didn't work. Instead, I used Offset in Face to offset one edge of the ruled body half the face width, then created a tube that essentially matches your original. Part file also attached.

    CENTERLINE FROM A TUBE BODY

    I downloaded a STEP file of a spring and used the ruled surface/isoparametric curve approach to recreate the centerline. I used the isoparametric curve to recreate the tube and it seems to work. I tried to create a Tube Centerline using both faces of the tube but it failed. Tube Centerline does...

    CENTERLINE FROM A TUBE BODY

    Tried to open the file but found no geometry. 2.2KB is pretty small for a STEP file.
