Using NX for Drafting
Using NX for Drafting
(OP)
Hi Everybody, we are a dieshop who is investigating a possible switch to NX. At the moment we use ME10 for our designs, and we reuse this drafting geometry for machining. Were necessary we make a 3d-solid for multi-axis machining [Mill&WEDM].
Anyone experience by using NX as a CAD solution for only drafting, where the input will not be derived from any 3d-model.
What offers power drafting for this issue?
How is the reuse of the geometry within the CAM environment, also Powerr Drafting?
Any other approaches possible? We are already in discussion with Siemens, but I am curious about the world's meaning.
Thank in advance, Bert

RE: Using NX for Drafting
However I am still curious about the meaning of other companies and how they deal with this issue. Espacially because you can not compare our die specific drawings with the technical-standard-drawings.
