    Re: UG NX 9 3D toolpath simulation

    If you don;t get an answer here, I suggest you contact GTAC or your reseller, or ask in the Siemens NX Manufacturing Forum.

    Re: NX automatic feed rate

    The basic difference is that you are using cut depth and stepover as inputs. In NX these are optional outputs from the machining data.
    Good to know you were able to find a solution by customization.

    Re: Point Distribution In NX

    You see them in the Operation, Cutting Parameters, Stock Tab, Tolerance Group - Intol and Outtol
    If the lock is closed, you can override them in the operation, or edit them in the parent Method.

    Re: Point Distribution In NX

    I think you are asking about point density, not distribution.
    Reducing the intol and outtol tolerance values, and setting the motion output to linear, should increase the number of points.

    Re: Engraving Problem's

    Did you try curve/point drive in surface contouring? This will lift between each set. You may be able to select using an intent like connected curves, then MB2 to add each new set.

    Re: Z level profile, order of operation?

    Correct - you need 2 operations to do this. In Zlevel you can select the outside as cut area in one, and the inside as cut area in the other.

    Re: Unigraphics 9 training videos

    Just one comment - if you are new to NX and are using solids, it is much easier and safer to use cavity milling or floor/wall instead of planar milling.
  11. Re: please share me unigraphics nx9 CAD/CAM 32Bit Software

    NX 9 is only available in 64 bit.
    Have you contacted Siemens or your local reseller to get a purchase quote?

    Re: CTX beta 1250 TC

    Are you going through a partner, or Siemens PLM, or DMG?
    I suspect that for a machine like that, you will want complete simulation, not just a postprocessor.
  14. Re: contour Area milling posted 3D points are too coarse.

    There could be many factors influencing this. For example, we have made several enhancements to the point distribution and arc output on analytic geometry since NX8 was release 4 years ago.

    Re: getting G2/G3 from CATIA

    If the path is offset normal to the surface, then it's possible that the tool path is not made of arcs.
    If you are in a pinch, can you just break it in to 2 or 3 programs?
