Adding Advanced 2D Design to the Strong 3D Foundation of NX

Do you currently use different CAD systems for 2D and 3D work? Are you tired of paying the extra costs involved in maintaining multiple systems, like maintenance, training, and translation? Those cost take a toll not just in money, but in time. What if you could eliminate them and go to a single system for both kinds of work?

NX DraftingPlus is a set of 2D design and drafting tools that that enhance the 2D capabilities of NX and allow you to integrate your 2D and 3D design work on the same platform. It is seamlessly integrated into NX, meaning that it uses familiar features of the NX user experience, including a role-based interface that puts users in the right context for 2D design work. The advanced features of NX DraftingPlus can be used either while creating new 2D designs or when creating drawings from 3D models.

NX DraftingPlus is optimized for 2D and features the following:

• The same customizable user interface as NX
• Seamless integration into NX Drafting
• Powerful curve creation and modification tools
• View creation and modification features to give you greater control
• A full set of tools to enable you to create standards-compliant drawings
• A bridge to 3D which allows you to create 3D geometry from existing 2D curves
• Flexible data import features to allow you to leverage your existing 2D data
