Hello Taylor, very clear, informative video as always - thank you. Quick question: At t=2:24 you had canceled the Measurement Tool, then moved the WCS back to Absolute CSYS (global 0,0,0 location), I assume by using Ctrl+Z to undo the WCS move? But however you moved WCS back from the hole in the plate back to Absolute origin, the thing that puzzles me is that at the instant you moved the WCS back to the Absolute CSYS, the visibility of Datum CSYS (0) turned on. Is that a feature on NX? Or was there a gap in the recording and during the gap you had manually turned on visibility for Datum CSYS (0)? Thank you.
Great question! My voiceover is usually recorded at the same time as the demonstration, so I honestly don't do a lot of detailed edits... I went back and tested this just now, and sure enough, the CTRL-Z "Undo" is undoing the "Hide" operation I'd previously performed on the Datum Coordinate System prior to the beginning of the video. So yes... that was just normal NX behavior, and not any editing trickery. 😀 Great eye!
Great question. Looks like that would be a two-step process today... You could measure the Center of Mass and create a point (either associatively or non-associatively) and then you could measure the location of the point with respect to the new CSYS. Does that make sense? (And yes, this sounds like a great Enhancement Request, if you'd like to submit it.) 🙂
I think you're asking about the Pattern Circle Diameter? In newer versions of NX (starting with NX 2406) you could directly measure the pattern circle diameter using three points. In older versions, creating a circle using three points first, and then measuring the circle would likely be the fastest way. Does that help?

Your videos are the best teaching NX in english.
Thank you for your kind comment!

Hi Taylor!Is it possible to get COG with respect to new CSYS you placed in the center?

Hello sir, how to calculate PCD of that patterned hole wrt wcs

@@taylorandersonnxvideos thank you for the reply sir, yes it works in newer version.....
