Thank you all for the input and the links to the available on line training and I am currently looking into them.
@deedub777, you have pointed out a caveat that is difficult to pick up from the help files. I just watched a youtube video by AllyPLM where the presenter pointed out some of those...
Thanks mlb2,
I appreciate the encouragement. I have to admit I don't like NX for the same reason. Just like CNC controls, you like what you learn on. This has been two years and some things don't seem any easier...
My frustration makes me want to throw in the towel and work somewhere that uses...
Gentleman,
Thank you for the input.
I am using 8.5.
I realize I have to stop thinking Pro/E but that is easier said than done. I consider myself to be an advanced CAM programmer but find NX very difficult to learn thru the documentation and CAST and realize as a seasoned user of another program...
deedub777,
I too come from a Pro/E,Pro/NC background; 12 years of v16 thru Wildfire2 then 3 years of SolidWorks and FeatureCam. I am primarily a CAM guy and use NX8.5 for toolpathing step files. I have been using NX for two years now (self taught) and have difficulties with it, I just don't...
Mark,
To whom are you posing this question? I as the original poster am running NX 8.5.1.3 NX Cam only. I do not have modeling available to me on regularly. I can borrow it from the other user for short periods if I need to.
Thank you for your responses.
Bill, can you give me detailed steps on your procedure? I have attempted this process and have experienced the following.
1)Output parasolid 'Toolpath Test Part.x_t' from Autodesk Inventor, for some reason Inventor outputs a metric part.
2)Open 'Toolpath Test...
Thanks for your response. It is similar to the responses I received on the Siemens NC Cam forum which I have posted below.
Response 1) I would use Master Model manufacturing assemblies and WAVE link the imported component up to the manufacturing assembly level. You should then be able to...
Hello everyone,
I am relatively new to NX Cam at about 8 months with NX8 and 8.5. My background is 15 years of Pro/E & Pro/NC with about 3 years of SolidWorks and FeatureCam.
I work with non native step or parasolid files from Autodesk Inventor. I want to start programming a part that is still...
DaSalo,
Thanks for the response; you are correct, I want to extend the body down to the green curve which is projected. As projected the curve is normal to the plane on which it is projected so it does not represent the intersection of the extended surface and the plane I want to extend to.
I...
Hello All,
I'm Scott McClurg, I am new to NX Manufacturing. I have been using FeatureCam 2.5D for the last four years and Pro/NC 2.5D and 3D surfacing for 12 years prior to that.
I am having difficulty figuring out how to machine non part geometry. I have a submarine brow plane to machine...
