In going from NX4 to NX5

[mongo46538]

Hey Camster,
Awesome animated pictures. In many cases I have made a dumb copy of a model on a neutral layer to program from, so that I can slice and dice without blowing the original model up.
On rare occasions it has caused me problems where I wish I could had programmed from the original but usually by the time it gets to me the model is completely finished.

So is this actually going to replace how some of the parametric features are created?

Looks interesting.

Yes, you can still create parametric features as in the past. This provides additional tools to modify existing solid bodies. The danger I see with this is you can add Synchronous Modling features to an already parametric feature. this will make it a nightmare for someone else to figure out later.
