Summary


Details

A number of holes were added around the outside of a circular part.  A Chamfer feature was added to the holes to break the edge by 90 degrees. 


From the Machining Feature Navigator the utilities Find Features and Group Features are used to create the Feature Group. When the holes are selected from inside the Feature Group menu the chamfer is not highlighted.


When attempting to countersink the holes no output is generated and the following error is reported.


How can this chamfer be machined?

Platforms
  • Windows x64 11
Release Versions
  • NX V2406
Solution

The reason for the  reported error is because the chamfer that was added was a Chamfer feature and not a chamfer from a Hole feature. 


The temptation is to turn off Collision Check and generate the path. This will cause the chamfer to be larger than it was modeled. The better option would be to turn on Use Predefined Depth and set it to a value small enough to prevent the error message.


The way to correctly fix this would be to add the chamfer in the hole feature.



When Find Features and Group Features are run the chamfer is found and will automatically generate the correct tool path.
