====== NX (ab Version 10) ======

----

Described are export settings for the CAD system "Siemens NX" from version 10. With the recommended settings you ensure that the drawing file can be read by #@IC_HTML@# in the best possible way.

Basically, it should be noted that fonts must be installed on the respective PC when processing drawing files in an exchange format, such as DXF, DWG or PDF.\\  **See** [[en:infra-convert:user:fonts|Dealing with missing fonts]]

If an export result is not satisfactory despite the configuration recommendations, we will be happy to support you directly.
