NX Fixed Axis Drive Method Boundary, Spiral and Radial Cut no Longer Supported

In a Fixed Axis operation the Drive Method options Boundary, Spiral and Radial Cut are no longer supported in the NX1872 version and later. When editing a legacy Fixed Axis operation with one of these methods the message below is displayed.

Solution

Any legacy operation with one of these Drive Methods can still be opened and generated. Any new operation will need to be created with one of the other methods. The old menu looks like the picture below.

The new Fixed Contour Explorer menu will look as seen below.
