    How to repair bodies

    Hi people! I'm working in a model in NX6 and I noticed that my model is somewhat 'broken'. The problem is: I'm having trouble trying to make an edge blend and I noticed that one of the arcs is formed by two curves instead of one. And sometimes when I try to make the blend, the software...

    Strange expressions in my model

    Hi everyone! I checked the Tools > Expression... menu, and I found out that there were several strange expressions that I'm pretty sure I never created. Could anyone tell me where they come from? and if it is possible to delete them? Check the image to view what I'm talking about. I only...

    Move Datum Csys on an existing model without modifying the model

    Hi guys!!! I have already a model with a DATUM CSYS at the bottom of the model, but I want to move it to a center position in the model. My question is: Is there a way to move the DATUM CSYS without affecting the entire model? or Should I modify every sketch and feature on it? Thanks
