NX -
Snap to Object
|
When modeling in NX there are many times where we want to
extend a shape to another shape. For example when using "Pull
Face" in Synchronous Modeling, we want to pull a face to be parallel
with another existing face on the model. Of course, we can measure the
distance between the 2 faces and input that value into the dialog.
However, there is a shortcut that can save you time and avoid the possibility
of accidentally inputting an incorrect value. The steps below will show
how to use "Snap to Object" in the Extrude command when creating
blank stock to be used in NX CAM. Keep in mind that "Snap to
Object" is available in multiple commands in NX.

1) This is the part that I will be programming
using NX CAM. In modeling, I will create a blank shape representing the raw
material:

2) Within the Extrude command, I have started the extrude
1.5" from the back of the part:
3) Since I want the extrude to extend to the front
face of the part I will use "Snap to Object" by right clicking on the
blue arrow:
4) Then I will simply pick the face I want to
extend to:
5) As you can see, the extrude is now extended to
5.6" which is parallel to the face of the part:
