A decent high performance roughing strategy - why should I have to pay a significant amount for a plug in like Volumill or the soon to be released iMachining for NX? Take a look outside the NX bubble and you'll see that this is included in nearly all your competitors. A better tool library...

It's not mathematically possible to roll a sheet, no matter how thin, and have no stretching. What are your tolerances?

ctrl + w also works well

I'm slowly working my way through constructing a post processor for my new turning centre using the techniques suggested on the siemens PLM forum. So far I've created an XZC mill as the master and linked a simple turn and an xhead mill as the slaves. The turn post has been pretty straightforward...

Using post builder I'm trying to develop the post processor(s) for our new Doosan Puma2600Y - single spindle, single turret, Y axis lathe. I understand the concept of linking post processors and this article http://www.endesin.com/Support/NXAtoZ/CreatingaMillTurnPostprocessorPt1.aspx suggests...

I had the opportunity to try NX9 on a Mac the other day (running under 10.8). I have used Apple products since the Apple II in 1977, will always prefer to use Apple products where available and run everything in our shop on Macs and iPads except NX. The Mac implementation that I experienced the...

It doesn't take long at all to customise the ribbon interface, personally I put my most used commands in the view menu. Couple that to a fully programmed Space Pilot Pro and I have nearly instant access to all but the most infrequently used commands.

This video should help http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAOVf0F1CV0

I paid extra for tSplines in Rhino but it was reasonably priced at $649, Power surfacing for solidworks is $1495, imagine and shape in Catia attracts a hefty price tag and freestyle is included with Creo - so I guess it depends on the price point siemens settle upon.

Wow, tSplines is the only reason I still use my seat of Rhino. New UI, improved image handling and now this - I for one am really looking forward to NX9.

Sounds even better John, just one problem - it's 90 days away! [smile]

Much better - glad to see there's still a full screen option too

So pleased to hear this, I've felt for a long time that NX had outgrown it's UI - only Alias being worse in my experience. No chance of a screenshot then? :)

Whilst I agree Solid Edge/3Dsync has a cleaner UI I'm not sure what you see in the videos that you can't do with sync modelling in NX?

and this is for canned cycles. Regards, Neil http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=7cde092f-39e9-4643-ab4b-35aeb23b03c8&file=canned.JPG

Hi John, The fixture offsets are defined by an E value, here's what I have for general motion http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=dba69fda-bcc6-4ee5-a4de-e207869f6a57&file=motion.JPG

Currently canned cycles aren't outputting the change in fixture offset, where's the correct place to insert the $mom_fixture_offset_value to fix the problem. Using NX 8.5.0.23 and Post builder 8.5.0

Hi John, I'm also using 8.5.0.23 but don't get that option - see attached pic. Can I save a carrier from any open file?http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=4d4f71d1-a85f-4a68-9d62-e1adbbbbbf2c&file=template_settings.jpg

I'm using NX8.5 and I'd like to set up various tool carriers pre loaded with the appropriate tools. After adding the required tools to the carrier -> MB3 the tool carrier in the operations navigator -> object but do not get a template setting option. I've also tried start -> tools -> operation...

As Cowski says +/- controls the sensitivity, 1 & 2 are assignable (as are pretty much all the others. 'Panel' should bring up the space explorer control panel and 'fit' should do exactly that - zoom the selected item to fit the window. Make sure you have the latest drivers and there should be...
