    Does NX6 have a similar function as Vericut's OPTIPATH?

    HI, I was wondering if there was a way to have "variable" cutting feed rates in NX6 as there is in Vericut with their OPTIPATH? Basically optipath varies the cutting feed rates according to actual material being removed, for instance it's going to increase the cutting feed rates on straight...

    how to center extrusion in relation to object

    HI there, I was hoping you guys could help me CENTER, or simply MOVE an extrusion in relation to an object. I have attached an NX6 file which is a simple footpeg. Somehow, I am unable to move the "bracket" with the circular hole. I would like that bracket to be centered with the actual footpeg...

    HI there, I have modeled a simple motorcycle footpeg as an exercise to learn NX6... I have the following problem... I have sketched a rectangle on one of its side but while trying to rotate the rectangle using "move object", it tells me that I cannot do it because it has constraints but I have...

    NX6 CAM: difference between MCS, WCS & RCS

    HI guys, I'm still learning the manufacturing side of NX6, and making strong progress... thanks to all of you. According to what I read, I believe the "part zero" is called MSC in NX6, am I correct? Assuming that I am, I want to do the following: I am trying to make 1 program with 3...

    similar icons doing same thing in NX6 CAM???

    Hi there, I am learning the cam module of NX6 through the self-paced CAST course. I am noticing that there are operations in MILL_CONTOUR machining environment that are also in the MULTI_AXIS environment, and therefore have the exact same icon... Are they EXACTLY the same operation under a...

    CAM questions for NX6

    HI, I have a few basic questions in regards to the CAM module of NX6. I am creating toolpaths and verifying them without any problems using the end mills that I have loaded in the pockets. Now I would like to SIMULATE instead of VERIFY my toolpaths, so I proceeded to select my machine as using...

    blending CYLINDER with BLOCK???

    Hi guys, New UGS NX6 user here.... I had a quick question. How do you do a blend with a cylinder sitting on top of a block in NX6? Let's say my cylinder is 50mm dia (length does not matter) sitting on a 100mm X 100mm Block (thickness not important)... I know how to make them unite with a...
