drawing modulus NX7.5
drawing modulus NX7.5
(OP)
There are two ways to make drawing in NX
1. as a part of the model, so the drawing is saved in one single file with 3D-model
2. drawing is made and saved as a separate file
is there any technical advantage one over another method (except number of files)?
Thanks

RE: drawing modulus NX7.5
Have you looked at the file sizes of your models compared to your drawings ?
When you load an assembly , NX will read all the component partfiles, it will be nature be quicker to read fewer megabytes than if you do both model and drawing in the same file. - even if we use the "partial loading" option.
If you need to export your files to another company which happens to use NX, would you then want them to get you drawings or only the models ?
As many files as you have, you can have as many persons working concurrently, i.e I can create the drawing of your model, Person X can do the Machining at the same time.
You can have ( depending on company culture) different revisions of your model and the drawing.
i.e when creating the drawing i spell something wrong, i can then revise the drawing but skip the model.
