    Swept Y (laminar ducting)

    All this time I thought I was the only one who had to create a dummy surface to get the curves to make the real one. Its hard being an intelligent enough person to know your doing "the blind leading the blind" while not knowing a better way to do it. I tested that command you mentioned cowski...

    Swept Y (laminar ducting)

    Suprisingly when I thought this cant possibly work I was somewhat wrong. In Through Curves I selected the right duct, then the merged area, then the left duct, and it went through without failing. It didnt get me the shape or ability to edit I wanted but still it executed without sharp...

    Swept Y (laminar ducting)

    NK, it is 2 sections that become one, picture a Y adapter etc. The reason I mentioned Swept is because there is a constant area option somewhere in there, which keeps its cross sectional area constant. cowski, yes I recall that there is such a command in NX2 now that you mention it. Do you know...

    Swept Y (laminar ducting)

    I am trying to design inlet ducts for a small RC jet I'd like to start building in about a year. They will look like a Y basically, 2 inlets 1 outlet. The cross sections will be practically circular at the inlet and outlet. My trouble is the area where the left and right inlets merge into the...

    Fillet Hilite (face for hilite)

    I am not finding styled corner in NX1 doc, my NX2 doc isnt working, and since im not fortunate enough to have no luck at all, I will guess it is new in NX2. I will say these tools look quite nice. I am sure our small young shop cannot justify getting this package unfortunately. I'd love to learn...

    Fillet Hilite (face for hilite)

    With fillet hilite from what I gather, the hilite is just a surface made with 2 curves to which the center portion of the conic is made tangent. I also assume that this surface is just made simply by bridging the gap directy between those curves, and does not have any "3D" surfacing (curved...

    Finding a radius smaller than x.xx

    Another method that may work, but probably not as well as the last mentioned, is to do analysis>minimum radius, and select all the faces in question. It will show you the smallest radius face, but not all the faces of smaller radius. So if you are changing these face radius' you could do this...

    PDF files from UG/NX2 drawings ???

    I do not have a direct link to a download, but at my last job we used a post script program. From the plot menu it would make a .ps, then we opened it with ghostscript, then convert it to PDF. Keith Young Walway Enterprises UG Tool Design

    how to change tracking set up in UNX

    Thanks Cowski, I never noticed that delta option. Just when you think you know most of what the software offeres, you find something new in the simplest of commands. Keith Young keith.a.young@comcast.net Walway Enterprises UG Tool Design

    Object count in Layers

    I remember when I was running the GM toolkit, when making a view I would have to temporarily move the solids to layer 253, make the views, then move the solids back to layer 1, make sure to hit the cat and folder icons (I forget what they were for, its been a year). If I didnt move the solids to...

    Pocketing letters in die shoe w/ Attributes

    Yes, I actually stumpled upon the Char command about an hour after making this post. This will be my 5th day of C++, hence overlooking char and probably many other options in fixing this problem. The program is working better now, except somehow when I store each digit of the main char as a...

    Pocketing letters in die shoe w/ Attributes

    I am having problems. When I bring in a detail number under 100, like 020, it automatically stores it as a Octal number in C++. I just learned of this numbering system yesterday so please correct anything I say that is false. In Octal the numbers 8 and 9 do not exist, therefore any detail number...

    Pocketing letters in die shoe w/ Attributes

    Thanks for the help ben. Today I start debugging, but it is looking like I will be put on a half built die which will make a part that just had an engineering change. Eventually I hope to tell you guys how this turns out. Keith Young keith.a.young@comcast.net Walway Enterprises UG Tool Design

    Pocketing letters in die shoe w/ Attributes

    Ok, let me reword this question a little. Does anyone know how to change user defined reference sets using GRIP? Additionally, this needs to be done to duplicate components under the same parent, do you know how to distinguish between the duplicates as long as they have different component...
