A decent high performance roughing strategy - why should I have to pay a significant amount for a plug in like Volumill or the soon to be released iMachining for NX? Take a look outside the NX bubble and you'll see that this is included in nearly all your competitors.

I'm slowly working my way through constructing a post processor for my new turning centre using the techniques suggested on the siemens PLM forum. So far I've created an XZC mill as the master and linked a simple turn and an xhead mill as the slaves. The turn post has been pretty straightforward...

So pleased to hear this, I've felt for a long time that NX had outgrown it's UI - only Alias being worse in my experience.
No chance of a screenshot then? :)
