Learn how to use the NX Drafting application to create standards-compliant detailed engineering drawings that are fully associated to your 3D model.
You will configure all drafting preferences using a preset standards file, create multi-sheet drawings with base and derived views, place associated dimensions and annotations on the drawing, and customize the drawing with view-dependent geometry and style changes.
You will also explore techniques for working with assemblies and Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI).
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
- The Drafting Processes course is intended for design engineers, drafters, and CAD/CAM managers who need to manage and create drawings in NX.
PREREQUISITES
Required courses:
- CAD Basic Processes (TRCT2215)
Other requirements:
- Fundamental knowledge of modeling concepts, including the use of expressions, PMI, and part attributes.
- Advanced knowledge of assembly concepts, including the master model concept, assembly load options, exploded views, and arrangements.
- General drafting skills. Students do not need to be exposed to the Drafting environment prior to taking the DRF ILT course, since this course includes a comprehensive look at the NX drafting environment.
