Synchronous modeling, wave geometry linker and product interface are all extremely powerful techniques. However, anything that is powerful us usually dangerous too. I would highly recommend their use with great care and expertise. Caution and deep understanding mitigates the danger in most cases.
Nice techniques! Made easy courtesy of the power and flexibility of NX, but without you showing us where these commands are and how to use them, most of us might never know how easy these things can be in NX. Thanks!
Replace face is great to get fast result. But in many companies, this tool (and all synchronous modelling tools in general) is not encouraged. Reason being, 1) Design intent is not clearly communicated, especially for person doing the maintenance. 2) Models made with this tools can easily break, or even corrupt in some cases. What is your thought on this?
Hello, thanks for your comment. Synchronous modeling is not as robust as creating these features within your work part's sketch. If you expect to go back and change aspects of the part, then synchronous modeling tools are probably not the best idea. If you need to make something quickly or would like to get an idea of what your part might look like with features moved by some amount, synchronous modeling can be a great tool. As with all NX features, you have to make decisions that work best for your situation. Hope this helps!

Absolutely correct but it depends on your creativity and project management also
