    nx3 to nx6 - horizontal clearance plane

    i have found that the system doesn't like a horizontal clearance plane, although i'm unsure if this is so or if i'm not applying the clearance correctly. This worked fine in NX3 but intermittently in NX6 ( i've seen it work twice but cannot duplicate again and the paths that did work are now...

    My company has recently upgraded to NX6 from NX3 and we have some legacy projects that take some time when opening. Whenever switching from modeling to manufacturing it seems that some checks are performed and an information file is displayed with: Attribute in: "toolpathname"...

    My wheel mouse zooms when depressing the wheel/MB2, and the pan (SHIFT + MB2) does not work nor does CTRL + MB1 to rotate. Is there a setting to re-activate this? There may have been a spaceball on this system prior to my use. I'm tempted to find and replace the mouse driver. Does the...
