CAM Assist won't start unless your Siemens NX license includes solid modeling. It also uses several NX CAM modules to create operations. These are Siemens NX licenses, separate from your CloudNC subscription (see Check your subscription).
What if solid modeling is missing?
When you click CAM Assist, NX shows this and stops:
CAM Assist requires the NX solid modelling licence. Please make sure it is installed before continuing
- Ask your NX license administrator to make the
solid_modelinglicense feature available to you. - Click CAM Assist again.
Which NX modules does CAM Assist use?
Each time it runs, CAM Assist checks for these NX license features:
| License feature |
|---|
solid_modeling (required to start CAM Assist) |
planar_milling |
nx_3d_adaptive_rough |
nx_floor_wall |
fix_axis_surf_mill |
nx_holemaking |
nx_cam_deburring3x |
assemblies |
ug_visualize |
sla_3d_systems |
Only solid modeling stops CAM Assist from starting. If any other feature is missing, CAM Assist carries on without telling you. See Operations are skipped or missing after CAM Assist runs in Siemens NX.
What does "Licensed number of users already reached" mean?
You may see a message that includes this text, for example after Open a Demo Part. All your NX license seats are in use. Free a seat or ask your NX license administrator, then try again. This is about NX seats, not your CloudNC subscription.
