Using NX3 Manufacturing I would like to cut a slot on a tube O.D. Not a groove but a "S" shaped slot the travels the length of the tube. I have created a Post that uses the 3-axis machining center with the addition of a indexable CNC head. What program option allows activation of a 4th axis? I...

Thanks in Advance.

Is there a way to estimate a process time for a Milling operation? I.E. I programm a part with three operations, can I query the system for a cycle time of a given process?
Thanks
I am attempting to create a Post here at work and I am having one issue that is holding up the completion. The machine reads the program and is 95% accurate, but the corners or any radius cut has an issue. If I program a square pocket with .250" radius the cutter should run the radius tangent to...
I would like to add information such as material and size to the Automatic list, but I am not having any luck. I have the Attributes created in the parts but can not figure out how to save a template file to extract and display the inforamtion.
Thanks in advance.
Since we can now save an information result like distance from point to point as a Measure, can this be used to drive a Parameter? An example would be a Arc legnth measure divided by 3.
Thanks in advance.
