A common situation is when you have designed your part in a solid body and need to create a draft with all dimensions. If you had using sketches, holes or symbolic threads in your part – then this way will help you to inherit dimensions from solid onto a draft. By the way,… Read More »
You probably had facing a problem of units conversion or dual dimensioning while working in Siemens NX. If so – then this hint would be helpful for you. Siemens NX has an option to convert units within expressions using special functions. Let’s create a simple Sketch that consists of the circle and two lines,… Read More »
Sometimes it is necessary to create a basic object, which later becomes a skeleton for the rest geometry. It could be datum planes, created at some distance from any WCS plane, which are suitable for use as limits for both extrude and revolve features. You can assign them names to simplify the search in… Read More »
This article was inspired by the topic started at Eng-Tips.com message board. The user asked the community if it is possible to see a real-time mass properties in the NX Graphic Window.
