    Hi All! I have done various searches here on this forum but have been unable to find this information... How can I find the maximum cutting depth in a particular tool path so that I can incorporate that data into my shop documentation? I am currently running 64bit NX7.0, soon to...

    Transforming objects in Manufacturing...

    Is there a way that I can "lock" the tool path so that NX doesn't recalculate it? Here is my scenario: I will make a single cavity prototype mold for our customers to approve. After they approve it, I will make a production mold which will have somewhere between 4 and 1000 or so of that...

I thought I would be able to just download the 64bit version and install it, but I called GTAC to verify and I was told I need...

    NX CAM file size...

    I am a new user of NX 6. Love the software but the file size I am producing in Manufacturing is getting out of hand. ~500Mb for one mold half(6 rows of 46 cavities each)! I am having to work around memory limitations (uppgrades on the way!) and I'm wondering if anybody can point me in the...
