====== NX 6 ======

----

This manual describes how to export drawing files in DWG, DXF and IGES formats (→[[en:infra-convert:user:terms#Drawing data format|Drawing data format]]) from the //NX 6// CAD system. The recommended settings ensure that the drawing file can be read by #@IC_HTML@# in the best possible way.

The following NX licenses are required:

  * Dxfdwg
  * ug_to_dxf
  * 3d_to_2d_flattener

Due to some errors with the DXF/DWG export (as of March 2010), we recommend using the IGES format. Some dimensions are seemingly not output as a block in the DXF/DWG format, but rather as individual elements and texts. Therefore the information in infra - CONVERT may not be automatically transferred. This applies especially to radii and angular dimensions.
