NX5 to NX7
NX5 to NX7
(OP)
Looks like we are going to NX7. Can anyone tell me how hard it was to go from NX5 to NX7? Is it as big of a change as from NX 3 to NX5?

RE: NX5 to NX7
While my views and opinions are biased
One piece of advice is that even if you've managed to avoid it in the past, I would highly recommend that you run all of your legacy parts through the 'refile' utility when moving to NX 7.5 (I'm assuming of course that you actually ARE moving to NX 7.5 and not NX 7.0) and that make sure that use the complete set of options which pertains to the updating of lightweight representations and not depend on just opening the files and saving them again.
But please, if any 'real' customers have any opinion on this topic, please jump in with whatever you've learned and which might shed additional light on this topic.

Thanks for the advice on the refile utility, I will follow-up on that. We have done it in the past but not recently.

RE: NX5 to NX7
Our Company recently jumped from NX5 to 7.5 and the process has been relatively painless. 7.5 seems to run a little smoother and has a lot more tools for direct modeling. I think the hardest adjustment has been just learning where some of the commands from 5 have been moved to. They've left the command finder in place though, so its really not much of an issue at all. As John as said, the refile utility is a great idea if you make the shift, as assembly mating conditions have undergone a major overhaul functionality-wise it seems.
Hope this helps, but I'd recommend making the shift for sure.
