At NX 12.0, a Variable Countour Guiding Curve operation may take excessive time to generate.
Solution
The generation time at NX 12.0 is caused by the combination of Path smoothing = ON and avoidance = Tilt/retract. With these set to
OFF , and
none, generation time is much less.
Increasing the intol/outtol values will also speed up generation time.
Improvements have been made in NX 1872 series. In this case, generation time was 4 times as fast.
