x

This class will dive into essential areas of NX CAD software covering a wide range of topics such as creating 3D parametric models, assembly structures, and detail drafting. We'll start off with an overview of NX and sketching techniques to develop a robust parametric model. Mid-week will be dedicated to feature modeling and detail features, where we will gain insights into datum features, synchronous modeling techniques, and more. We'll shift towards assemblies and design in context, allowing you to understand components and positioning constraints. Finally we'll explore the drafting application in detail, learning how to create and manipulate drawing sheets, add and associate annotations which will arm you with extensive and effective drafting skills.
