NX Feature groups and operation naming not working the same in NX2206 as in NX11

Summary


Details

The site has created custom feature group and operation names in the machining knowledge rules. In NX11 and NX12, the machining rule for the "FCS" feature created four distinct geometry groups:

14MM_FCS

16MM_FCS

22MM_FCS

24MM_FCS

each with accordingly named operations. In NX2206, the 22mm FCS feature groups and operations no longer appear as they do in NX11, but are now combined as part of the 24mm FCS. Why is this happening and how do I get this to work the same way it did in NX11?

Solution

Newer versions of NX have a refactored Create Feature Process function in Feature Based Machining (FBM).  We have seen this cause some trouble when using logic developed for the older process.  You can revert back to the older Create Feature Process by turning ON the "Classic Create Feature Process" feature toggle.  This is turned OFF by default to have NX use the new process as the standard.
