Design with NX

Design with NX provides a multisite NX design data management solution for the extended enterprise.

It allows designers to access and share each other's designs from within the native NX user interface. This leverages the design team's collaboration capabilities of Unified X-CAD Design while enhancing the process workflow, increasing data integrity, and improving configuration management.

When using Design with NX, designers can:

  • Effortlessly access, manage, share, and store CAD design data without leaving their preferred environment.
  • Connect to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform using a Unified X-CAD Design engine predefined access setup to search and browse, lock, and check-out designs to their local drives.
  • Store design modifications in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
  • Display Multi-CAD structures in the NX session to see the design context of large assemblies and to make design decisions and updates.

Designers can update the structure of 3DEXPERIENCE assemblies in NX using any of the following actions in the context of an existing 3DEXPERIENCE assembly:

  • Add new or existing parts or assemblies.
  • Delete an existing part or assembly.
  • Replace an NX part or assembly that is the first-level child of a 3DEXPERIENCE assembly with another NX part or assembly.
  • Reposition an NX design in a 3DEXPERIENCE assembly.
