How can the user see all the tool vectors throughout a tool path?
SolutionNX does not have an option to simply display them all at once, but we can have NX create them by doing the following:
- on the ribbon, set the tool display to "Axis":
- then toggle on the "Trace Tool Axis" option under More:
- highlight the desired operation in the navigator, and push Play on the Animation group of the ribbon.
NX will paint the tool axis vectors as it plays through the path. The vectors are persistent, and you can zoom/rotate the view as needed with them remaining on screen until the view is refreshed.
