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).
