Using NX2 I would like to create a tool path that will follow a 3D edge curve. Which operation should I try to use to follow only the edge? Attached is a portion of the part with the edge in red. Thanks in advance. Jeff |

| I am trying to remember back to 2003... Have you thought about upgrading to NX7? At any rate, you should be able to create a fixed_contour operation, set the drive method to flowcut, and set the flowcut type to reference tool.

| Thanks Mark, We have NX6 but I was trying to avoid using it and our NX2 does not have the Flowcut license. Bit the bullet and opened NX6 and voila, Flowcut. Stumbled thru it with a lot of help from Tom at Siemens cam support. jeff |
