Hi, I finally got my Helix profile the way I want it - along the tappered face. For the most part, my cutting or groove tool sweeps well, until it gets near the end. How do I prevent the cutting tool from angling or thickening as it sweeps around the Helix? Thanks.... Jason Misztal Fuel...

Hi, Since, I am blocked from various image sites, I will try to spell out my delima. I have defined 2 points. One point has a radius of: 4.828, which is my starting point. The other point has a radius of: 5.084 If a line is drawn connecting the 2 points, this will represent my...

Hi, Received a lot of good suggestions, but for some reason, I still cannot get the Helix profile in a desirable location or get a clean sweep out of it. I projected the curves as suggested, but when I go to create the Helix Law Curve, I'm not sure which one to pic for my needs. So far...

Hi, This partially in reference with my, "Create Spiral Groove" topic. I need to create a spiral pattern to use as my sweep guide & the Helix curve feature seems to be the best feature to use. I have start & stop points, ID & the # of turns required that will define my groove pattern...

Hi, Here's some NX 3 CAST: C:\UGS\NX 3.0\UGDOC\html_files\assemblies\func_details\analy_diagram.html (I think it's the same link for your PC). Perhaps, it's the same for NX 4. Jason Misztal Fuel and Utility Systems UG Designer Goodrich Corp. Rome, NY www.goodrichrome.com

Hi 4Mranch1 & plmexchange, Thanks for the feedback. Seems both of these could work. I think I want to use the UDF, but I forgot where to go to create it. Where do I go to create a UDF? I found the Define Deformable feature & will figure out on how to use this to see if this is...

Hi, Is the component you linked the bodies still in the model structure? It appears that it has been removed out of the model structure & therefore, your linked body does not know what to link to. Hope this helps. Jason Misztal Fuel and Utility Systems UG Designer Goodrich Corp. Rome...

Hi, I would like to create a model that works similar to a model with a Part Family Table in it when adding it into an assembly. However, I want to be able to enter some variable dimensions, such as ID, OD or Hole Dimension Angle for a part & based off of these entries, the rest of the model...

Hi Hudson or Whoever Else That Can Help, I am trying to make an internal groove that will be square shaped along a tappered face. I have 2 defined points in which I need to start & stop at & the groove cut will have a .25 depth with a .25 width. Perhaps, the cable feature will work better...

Hi, It's been a while since I've done this. I need to make a spiral groove onto a tappered bore. I attempted to use the Helix feature to create my spiral pattern, but when I sweep it, my groove is not going along the tappered face. How can I make the spiral pattern that goes along the...

Hi, I created a component & created a part family table in it. This component design intent is to drive an upper level component, in which a few more features will be added onto it. Is it possible to have inter-part expressions or links between part family tables that are in two different...

Hi Phippd, I am not familiar with deformable part. Where can I find more info. on this? Does this requireq a "special" licience? Thanks Jason Misztal Fuel and Utility Systems UG Designer Goodrich Corp. Rome, NY

Hi, Does Mentor DX Designer '.hpgl' have the capabilities to open in Adobe software products? Adobe Illistrator seems to work well for convering different CAD systems to another CAD system. Illistrator, in particular has 2 dozen or so convertiable or usable files that it can accept. Hope...

Hi, I'm creating some standard models & part families seems to work well for pre-defined dimensions. Is it possible to have user enter values for specified dimensions or constraints, rather than going through a list of pre-defined criteria, then selecting desired component? Also, is it...
