    Using Expressions in Manufaturing

    Hi Im using NX7.5, my question is Can you set a MCS with is parametric and can be automatically updated from a datum where the orientation changes due repositioning relative a parametric sketch. I need to be able to position a series of 20 blocks around what would be a nominal diameter. each...

    Tool Graphics

    Checked the file and its pointing to correct as you indicated. Added line to ugii_env.dat pointing back to the original installed location and now get a C++ Runtime error Program C:\Program Files\UGS\NX7.5\UGII\ugraf.exe

    Tool Graphics

    Thanks all for the advice. Mark Followed your advice and the syslog points to the ugii_env.dat I've modified. Using ugii_env.dat file from C:\Program Files\UGS\NX 7.5\UGII Ive copied the Resource directory to to the shared drive, K:\casings\NX_SHARED_RESOURCE\resource, and changed the...

    Tool Graphics

    Within NX7.5 we build tool model assemblies downloaded from the suppliers. These models are then saved Native on each PC in C:\Program Files\UGS\NX 7.5\MACH\resource\library\tool\graphics. Tool data created in Manufacturing using same name as the model and exported to tool library. Then...

    NX6 UGII ENV DAT

    Using NX6. Can anyone please advise on the proceedure to allow users to save and access manufacturing tool data to/from a common tool library other that the standard defined in the UGII_ENV.dat file. This to include exporting/importing tool data to/from library and the use of tool.prt models...

    NX7.5 MACHINING

    Using turning mode in NX7.5, I define the turning tool, then use TEACH MODE to create the paths,as Im creating the paths I keep getting the message "Failed to find file using current options,part left unopened". ive tried changing Assembly Load options but nothing seems to stop this happening...

    NX 7.5 MULTI-AXIS MACHINING - USING DRIVE CURVES

    NX7.5 Millturning conical surface using VARIABLE CONTOUR, have unwrapped the face and created sketch around the bosses to control the tool path AND WRAPPED the sketch back to the conical. Problem Ive encountered is the PROJECTION VECTOR when applying stock. The paths with stock added are not...

    SCALED BODY

    Thanks for replies Projecting the curve into the sketch work is such that it updates when the scale changes, however any subsequent sketch created referencing the sketch with the projected curves doesnt. Again they lose the constraints! Of course the solution would be to reconstrain the sketch...

    SCALED BODY

    thanks Jerry, The sketch is placed after the model is scaled This is the order in the model tree. 1 Body 2 scale Body - enter scale percentage 3 Section curves - section curve thru the scaled body 4 Sketch - constrained offset from the section curves. When i change the scale @2 the sketch at...

    SCALED BODY

    The sketch is just an constrained offset from the section curves. Any change to the model using synchonous modelling cascades to the sketch, but if I change the scale this doesnt update the sketch merely deletes the constraints that were in place prior to the change. Currently using NX6

    SCALED BODY

    USING NX6 I have a component where we are to machine a scaled version of the original solid body (0.9% of full size approx)to accomodate undesize forging. Its a test machining process to establish best proactice. We need to machine the scaled version and then a full size so I need to...

    NX6 TURNING FORM TOOL

    Hi Ive defined as form tool to use withing NX6 turning,problem is when I come to generate a toolpath I get the error message "Invalid tool type for turning tool" The opition to define a form tool is given in the Create Tool form but doesnt seem to allow it to be used for a toolpath? Any...

    NX6 Manufacturing

    Thanks for reply, The same 3 options are available in NX6 but no matter what I enter into the form it doesnt make any differance to the feed output. It does work with cavity mill though Currently using NX6
