Hello everyone,
I work in Mold department in one Automotive company who produce plastic products for Cars :
I have expereince with Solid Edge as Design Engineer and now I have learned fast NX, Solid Edge and NX are very similar and that is good.
I have never before worked in Mold department and NX is mostly good for Mold . In my department no one use Sketch in NX when they create new part design, or when they make modification on part.
I have never worked on that way, always with sketch in Solid Edge and now also I know work with Sketch in NX but Enigneers in Company use another approach for design new product like :
for mirror they use : (Transformations,
for making ribs : (Block, move Object, Offset Region, Replace Face.
or (Block, move Object, Offset Region, Subctrate)
When they want to create new part on product , they use Block
Instead Linear pattern they use : Move object ( distance, Specify Vector, Copy Original)
Ctrl+B - as Hide another part and work on another part
My question is : is that mostly approach for NX for design new products, modification and also for mold designers or it that complicate way for approach to design new part or not in NX without Sketch, Datum Plane, Rib, etc?
They want from me to work on that approach too, without using Sketch, Datum Plane ,etc.
For some products for me look very easy how I think and what option would I use with Sketch, but if I think on that way without Sketch that will be very slowly process.
I need opinion from you guys, anyone with experience as Mold Designer, or Part Designer in NX .
Kind Regards,
Nedim D.
