    Create and call subprogram

    Hi, Just wonder if there is a way that I can create a subprogram, and the method to call it. I tried to search online. I found something related to Fanuc subprogram, but I am still confused, and don't know how. Can anyone help? Thanks

    Face milling error

    Hi Mark, I was trying to learn using the point method. I might miss something when trying to set the workpiece up. And I will contact the GTAC if I found anything. Thanks

    Face milling error

    Hi I have questions about setting the face milling by using the "point boundary" method. As shown in the pic, there is no error when I used the "face boundary" method, but there is an error when i tried to define the square by selecting 4 points. Thanks...

    How to change the MCS of the "Geometry" view

    Problem solved. The key is to define the origin of abs coordinate on the top of the workpiece in simulation(same as the WCS of the "Geometry" view). No matter how I set MCS, WCS, reference, it didn't matter. Although the outputs are different... Weird results and thanks for helping

    How to change the MCS of the "Geometry" view

    Uh...Now it seems a bit clear that the "XM,YM,ZM" of the "Geometry" is not the absolute one Probably is, but why it is labeled the same as "MCS". The "X,Y,Z" is called the "datum coordinate system", and I can move it... so it is not the absolute coordinate system...... Just wonder if there is...

    How to change the MCS of the "Geometry" view

    I tried in the manufacturing simulation, and the machine will always take the MCS of the "Geometry" as its origin. I need to manually set an offset for it in order to avoid the errors. If I set the MCS of the workpiece on the bottom, and the MCS of the "Geometry" is on the top, there is an...

    How to change the MCS of the "Geometry" view

    Uh... Denying me won't help. Do you mean that the "MCS" in the "Geometry" view is actually the "absolute coordinate system"? But why it is labeled as "XM, YM, ZM", is the absolute one labeled as "X,Y,Z"? I felt no one really directly answered my questions Thanks for your patience, and your...

    How to change the MCS of the "Geometry" view

    Why it was labeled as XM, YM, ZM? Is that another machine coordinate system(MCS)? If it is the absolute coordinate system, should it be labeled as X,Y,Z? Wonder if that coordinate system (MCS of the "Geometry" view) will have effect on the manufacturing processes. Thanks

    How to change the MCS of the "Geometry" view

    Hi, everyone, Felt a bit confused about how to set the coordinates for "Geometry" view. In the "Geometry" view, the origin of the MCS is on the top of the part. In the "MCS_Mill", origin in on the bottom of the part. I wonder if I can change the MCS to the bottom for the "Geometry" view...

    How to set CSYS (absolute coordinate system)

    Which NX version did you use? Thanks for helping.

    G76 in NX 8.5?

    I think I found it. In cycle list. "Standard Bore, Drag" -- G86; "Standard Bore, No Drag" -- G76

    How to set CSYS (absolute coordinate system)

    It was set under the MCS_MILL -> Workpiece -> planar_profile operations. Coordinates in the "List tool path" are all correct. Yes, it could be. Thanks for your help.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=e97df59b-8b83-4e76-8653-0bbab7b8e149&file=3axis_drill_error.PNG

    G76 in NX 8.5?

    Hi, everyone I have some questions about G76 fine boring operation, I don't know where to find it. And what is the difference between single hole and single bore? For now, I have tested several operations and output the NC code. Some are obvious when I tried to match the operation with the...

    How to set CSYS (absolute coordinate system)

    I tried to output the NC code. No matter how I set the WCS and MCS, it always take the absolute coordinate. When I define the origin of WCS on the bottom. In manufacturing simulation, I need to add the height of the block to the "translation in Z axis" . Otherwise, the machine will mill...

    transfer multiple x_b files to prt

    Hi, I wonder if there is a way that I can import a folder of x_b files and export as prt file type to another folder? I felt it is a bit dumb to open the file one by one and then "save as"... Thanks
