Thank you very much Steve, indeed that's more powerful than i thought, and it invites me to try to simplify my modeling :) Now i'm thinking about using it for the "tongue and groove" feature PS : "Plese like[...]" lacks an A ;)
class A surfacing Actually, i'm training more, otherwise i'm designing a lathe (granite-epoxy in mind, but concrete could help with the low budget) and will have to design some casting parts soon for this project. I've maaany kind of parts in mind for related workshop projects. I was electrician in the past, and also worked in environmental cleaning, rivers and forestry. That's very far from parts design :) but i started 3D in the middle of 90's with POV and others. There is a huge difference between polygonal modeling and CAD :)
(in fact i've been through POV, 3D studio, then Max and Lightwave, Blender later, a bit of Maya and Rhino for the nurbs, but after stopping all of this for near a decade, i restarted using FreeCAD, which was nice but very frustrating as it's still a _work in progress_ so i switched for Solidworks, and after getting more and more frustrations with it, from its performances to the historic-modeling limits, i gave a try to NX and finally prefered its logic and interface, none to say that i also prefer its drawing tools and behaviors, memory footprint and stability. SolidEdge too but i dislike its drawing part)
Interesting history. I started a blacksmiths shop in my mothers garage as a teenager and built up from there. On NX for 2 decades now. It is funny how CAD tools have converged. I guess it is only a matter of time. And yes, you are correct it is mostly interface these days that is the deciding difference. I like NX and I like V5. They make sense to me. I played with Alias and ICEM classic and both are powerful but I like my history and the layout of NX and V5 best. I will get you a tongue and groove demo soon.
I do not use a cloud for anything. I absolutely refuse to use it. I want to own my things. People do not realize how a cloud can be manipulated. Awful. The day will happen soon when we can manipulate solids like putty as you video link shows. I saw something similar to this years ago but in a lab. Processors need more power. Especially video processors. It has been 20 years. Crazy. The difference with NX and other CAD softwares was that NX was proprietary and not available to the world until 15 years ago. Catia has been around and available for 30+ years as are other softwares. Most companies that go to NX now are not really interested in the CAD tool as much as the PDM/PLM tool that is Team Center. Most companies do not want to go to CATIA V6 because it would require a PLM change which is way more difficult than a CAD change. Dassault made a mistake. Daimler went to NX because they use Team Center. Not because of NX. A lot of other companies are in the same boat. But now people see how powerful NX is and it is cheaper than V5/V6 so some companies will change for that. Again Okto, thank you for your support. I will be doing way more with the channel in the near future.
Thanks for all these videos, Did you get around to making the Stationary and Parting video? I have looked through your NX Videos and cannot see it. We make foundry patterns and I am trying to figure out what my best bet is for an upgrade to our current Solidworks seats.
yes! I always press the like button to express my gratitude every time I watch a video.Thank you for making great videos and teaching people.I'm sorry because my english is not good
thank you
Thank you!

Thanks. Never rush..
What type parts do you design?
