============================

Problem Description:


CMM (Content Migration Manager) SolidWorks to NX give incorrect translation of extrude features -defined by two directions- in NX.

Work Around:	manually fix via extrusion limits 

Steps to Duplicate:  

See 9651930_Issues_with_Extrudes_defined_by_two_directions.pdf for clarification.

  1. Migrate part 9651930_1-MUTTER0218_00.SLDPRT

  2. Open part in NX

  3. Extrude Feature result body is created outside the main body. As a result the Subtract cannot be completed.

Platform Information-

Problem is platform specific: No Platform:

Problem verified on the following platforms and OS versions:

Intel IV, Win10 64-bit

The problem has been investigated and the following has been found:

Siemens believes that the problem you reported where there are issues with extrude defined by two directions can be fixed by performing a manual workaround. NX reader supports Extrudes defined by two directions. This Extrude fails because of a gap between CAD systems. This is a Cut Extrude with circular profile, which creates a cylindrical tool body. It tries to cut through a cylindrical hole whose diameter is equal to the tool's, which is causing an error in NX.

The error could be manually fixed by adding small amount of Offset in the Extrude, or switching the order of operation from:

 1. Basis-Linear austragen

 2. Fase3

 3. Austragung1

 4. Schnitt-Linear austragen4

to:

 1. Austragung1

 2. Schnitt-Linear austragen4

 3. Basis-Linear austragen

 4. Fase3"
