NX CAD introduction to PMI (Product Manufacturing Information)

I thought that I'd make a short video that would provide a quick overview of SIemens' NX PMI functionality and demonstrate PMI object creation as it is today in NX11.

Thank you for posting, great information. How you switch back from PMI mode to Design/Model. Will dimensions automatic change after changes in design?

[@AKU-zn3bl]

How to show the section line in drafting once the PMI is is converted to the drafting sheet

[@uraldesign]

What about the surface roughness?

[@nawazsk2123]

It's a great video. But applying datum B to the axis is it right?. Mostly we apply datum feature symbol for surface and extension lines and dimensions but not for axis.

[@andyschaefers9439]

You are correct. That would have to be a constructed datum, it doesn't physically exist. When we make these videos, we are trying to show people as many commands and options as possible, it should not be considered a how-to for Geometric Tolerancing

[@nawazsk2123]

it"s a great video .

Why did u stop the radi on top of screw domes? The sharp edge is a stress concentration

[@emmanuelirizarry5302]

Razvan Dumitru because this is a demo....

[@chillrowdys]

what is the difference between giving the dimensions as PMI in model with detailing the views in the drawing module ?

[@andyschaefers9439]

If you apply the PMI to the model, you have additional utility. For instance, the manufacturing environment can read the PMI and automatically determine the process required to meet feature tolerance.

[@hnguye22]

Nothing. PMI is the 3D model base dimension, instead of the 2D drawing sheet format.

[@formekinetics691]

Just an example....but dat C is not needed and still have not restricted the 6 degrees of freedom.

[@Hangovna]

What I still don't get is why NX doesn't have the "show dimensions" ability like CREO has. One should be able to use the dimensions to define the features in the part for annotating the part either in PMI or drafting application instead of redoing all the dimensions twice.

[@robertbissex772]

Feature Parameters its called. Not as smooth as Creo but it does work .

the video image is too poor, you need to fix it more

[@giliomri]

The amount of illegitimate GD&T in this video is overwhelming.
