Our company recently purchased an old Cincinnati gantry that runs on BCL. If anyone out there is familiar with this output, please take a look at the attached code and tell me if this looks right. No one in our programming dept. has ever seen anything like it.
Thanks

I'm having trouble controlling NCM behavior on a z profile op. I specified ramp between passes but it appears to disregard this part of the way down and uses transfer method. In addition, when it uses transfer method, it doesn't focus on one feature (depth first) but bounces back and forth...
I'm new to solidworks and I'm looking for something comparable to "wavelinking". In short I'm looking to trim one solid component to another by editing the one inside a sldasm file, top down style as it were. Another way of putting it I guess would be to say I'm looking to create an associative...
Tried running a cam express tutorial, but I didn't get very far. It launched the browser part of the tutorial, then when I selected "Create a new setup for this model" it opened an empty pax file "NX_VCAM_NEW_SETUP.pax" with notepad and ended there. I remember this working OK back in NX5, not...
I'm looking to add two columns to my tool list html file, "tool holder description" and "tool extension". The first went fine but I'm having trouble with the second. I imagine it is because "extension" is a variable I created within a custom command "PB_CMD_tool_extension" for my post. I tried...
This is something that worked well with an unparameterized
solid. I just did a save as, transform-mirror and then a replace component in the mfg file. However with a native file I'm having problems. Since its parametric I have to create a linked mirror body, which of course means no "move"...
I finally got around to importing "PB_CMD_helix" for arc output but our control seems to need an "R" on every line.
My circular move event has R toggled to force, but its not working on helical moves. For the hell of it I turned off modal for R, but now its putting an "R" on every X Y coordinate...
Like most programmers who've made the switch from Mastercam (or some other midrange) to NX, its good riddance. We have an orphaned seat of X2 that we use for updating legacy parts, but for the most part I've never looked back.(I do find myself missing circle mill occasionally but thats minor)...
I'm doing some simple 4axis work (just indexing) and I'm having trouble manipulating transfer between regions. Clearance plane is set to 10" from center of rot., but I don't need to come up that high between regions. I've tried everything, including direct (which I don't want) and it still...
For anyone who spends any time in Drafting, this question is probably as dumb as gets but ... would sure appreciate some help. Seems like I've tried every setting.
Thanks

I tried both importing and opening the attached dwg that I pulled off a tooling component site. It was empty, although certain levels showed an object count. I tried unblanking(show) and select all but still nothing. I tried opening in a different system and the solids showed up no problem, from...
When sketching a line or contour in a tight area I can't seem to place it where I want without it snapping to an inferred constraint. If I turn off inferred constraints, at least I don't have to go and delete that particular one, but I'd rather be able to turn off this snapping behavior...
I've come across a problem when making assy dwgs that has me stumped. I make a minor modification and and when I reopen a sheet, previously visible lines are now hidden. This is not the first time this has happened. I'm must be doing something stupid, I just can't figure what.
Thanks for any...
I use program start events to include information that I would like to append to the program header. I find myself getting in and out often to add or modify info, and the number of mouse clicks (mb3, scroll to object, start event)is cumbersome. I called GTAC to see if there were someway to...
I found in customer defaults where you can change the color of saved coordinate systems, but how about display size. They're not showing up very well in set up sheets.

When I want to create a reference dimension in a sketch, this is something I can determine before its created. However I can't figure out how to do this with a curve. I create a line and then convert to reference. Am I missing something?

The title kinda says it all. I don't remember this behaviour in NX6. Is there a switch for this?

I'm looking to have multiple instances of a component with suppresion of some features in some instances. I've done this in solidworks. Not sure in NX. Starting to read docs on Arrangements. Am I in right direction?

I'm getting an error when a fillet reaches a certain size (.25), related I think, to the elimination of a face. I got it to work with faceblend but I was wondering if there was a setting in edgeblend that could have made it work.
TIA

I occasionally open a sketch just to double check a dimension, no intention of modifying anything. When I "finish sketch" and go into manufacturing, all of my operations need to be regenerated. The only way around this is to undo after I exit the sketch. However if I forget to undo and go into...
