The new sketcher in NX allows for enhanced representation of turned components. Here are some key features:

Diameter Dimensions

  • You can represent turned components using diameter dimensions, which is essential for accurately depicting cylindrical features.

  • This feature simplifies the design process by providing a clear and concise way to indicate sizes of circular parts.

Tolerances Representation

  • The sketcher enables the representation of various tolerances, ensuring that the specifications meet manufacturing requirements.

  • Different types of tolerances can be applied to dimensions, such as unilateral, bilateral, and geometric tolerances.

PMI (Product Manufacturing Information)

  • All dimensions can be shown as PMI, which integrates essential manufacturing information directly into the model.

  • This feature enhances communication between design and manufacturing teams, reducing errors and streamlining the production process.

Incorporating these features into your sketches will improve the clarity and effectiveness of your designs, making it easier to convey critical information regarding turned components.
