    A caveat on the 'SB Convert to Sheet Metal' feature

    A caveat on the 'SB Convert to Sheet Metal' feature, NX7.5.5.4......The function needs a bit more work, since I have many parts now that will not unfold properly after applying the 'SB Convert to Sheet Metal' feature.

    Cavity Mill Broken

This overrules any sort of use for cavity mill in a high-speed milling scenario, where you have a high-speed inserted cutter with a very short length of...

I vaguely remember I had...

    non-cutting moves....is this a reported glitch?

    First post here, UG CAD/CAM user since the early 1990's at GM, exiting UGNX at version 4.x, and returning now again to NX 7.0.1.7..........after 1.5 years immersed in the CATIA CAM world. What a long, strange trip it's been.. Is there anything to look forward to, in regards to improved...

    ugii_env variable for shaded part and cut area in NX4 CAM??

    I'm having a hard time locating the environment variable (I'm assuming there is one) that controls how selected part and cut areas in countour milling CAM are rendered......one version of NX4 I was using last month would highlight them brightly shaded on a shaded model (which I think is the...
