Performance of Designcenter NX Across Market Features

Designcenter NX Likes & Dislikes

Like

The large variety of functions available within the software.

Like

I like how there are always updates to make NX even better. It makes it easier to keep up with the industry.

Like

NX integration with Teamcenter is the best thing i like about it. Assembly and wire harness is super easy to use without any complications.

Dislike

The scale of the learning curve is hard to address for users of other systems. Veteran CAD users can find some functions do not worth the same way as in other pieces of software and can cause problems if the user is not aware of the differences.

Dislike

When first working with NX it is very easy to get lost with all the options. I wish there were better tutorials for new users.

Dislike

Session tends to freeze if we load larger assemblies Memory error issues Limited scope of automation

    Tracing the Evolution of NX Across the Decade: A User Perspective

    5.0
    Jan 30, 2025
    I have been working with NX for 7-8 years (CAD, Harness, Drafting, Sheetmetal, Assembly etc) i have witnessed the improvement of the tool, from NX 7.5 to NX 2027. The user interface is super friendly. Search bar is properly optimized for command searches. I was also able to insert VB scripts for minor automation. Sometimes we encounter graphics issues which get sorted when we update the display. Overall it has enhanced my design thinking and my ability to come up with design concepts.
