NX Drafting Format
NX Drafting Format
(OP)
Afternoon all, I am very new to NX5 and this is what I am trying to do.
I have an existing NX prt file, which is just 3D data. I wish to create a 2D drawing using a Autocad (dxf) format but in NX5.
I have read about Input and patter, but I seem to be missing something, because it doesn't work. If I open the dxf file seperately everything comes in nicely to NX.
Anyone got some nice very basic (NX for Dummies) suggestions?
Thanks,
rg

RE: NX Drafting Format
I'm not very clear on what you're trying to do. If you have the drafting module, why don't you create your 2D drawing in NX, and then export out a DXF file?

The customer wants a NX file, not Autocad.
