Make Coaxial Makes one face coaxial to another face.

Make Coplanar Makes one face coplanar to another face.

Make Parallel Makes one face parallel to another face.

Make Perpendicular Makes one face perpendicular to another face.

Make Tangent Makes one face tangent to another face.

Reuse commands
Cut Face Copies a face set, deletes that face set from the body, and heals the open area
left in the model.
Copy Face Copies a face set from a body, keeping the original face set intact.

Paste Face Pastes a cut face set into a target body.

Mirror Face Copies a face set, mirrors it about a plane, and pastes it into the part.

Pattern Face Copies a set of faces in a circular or rectangular pattern, or mirrors them and
adds them to a body.

Holes
The Hole dialog box has been completely redesigned, with new options and capabilities.
You can:
Create holes on non-planar faces

Use new depth options
Create tapered holes
Create screw clearance holes
Create an associative series of holes in multiple bodies and components

Blend enhancements
Edge Blend:
Optionally capping (trimming) an edge blend has the following

enhancements:
•You can now select a plane as well as faces to cap an edge blend.
•If you cap an edge blend with a plane, you can specify the trim
location plane as also being the capping plane.
•If the capping trim plane intersects the blend face in more than one
location, you can specify which intersection to use to trim the blend.
•If you cap the blend with one or more connected faces, they can be
from the body being blended or from another body.
Face Blend:
•The Multi-transition law type (Dynamic Law) is now available with

Face Blend when the Radius Method is set to Law Controlled.
Edge Blend Caps
Face Blend using Multi-Transitional

Move Object
This command provides the traditional translation and rotation capabilities
currently available with the Transform command, but also provides additional
repositioning functions.
You can:
Dynamically move objects using handles.
Move objects a specific distance along a given vector, towards a given vector, or
between two points.
Move and rotate objects along and about a specified vector.

Deform Components

Replace Component
The multiple Substitute Component dialog boxes are now combined
into a single Replace Component dialog box.
The Open As and Open Assembly As functions that were available in the Assembly
Navigator are also now consolidated into Replace Component, as follows:
If the Maintain Relations check box is not selected, the selected components
are removed, and the replacement part is added as a new component.
If the Maintain Relations check box is selected, NX maintains as many relations

as possible using the open-as capabilities.
You may need to save modified parts, because the selected components are closed
and then reopened as the replacement part.

Centerline handles
You can use centerline handles to modify associativity objects and lengths of
centerline segments. Centerline handles provide on-screen interaction to
lengthen or shorten centerlines. The handles appear when you create or edit a
centerline symbol. Handles are not supported for the Automatic Centerline
command.

For each FCF symbol annotation, you can create:
A unit basis value

A square zone tolerance modifier
An FCF with a maximum tolerance
An FCF with a datum reference with a Free State modifier
Compound datum references. Each datum reference in a compound datum
reference can have its own Material Modifier Conditions and Free State
modifier.
