Introduction to CAD using Siemens NX - Tutorial 1

Starting 2D work in NX

This tutorial opens a series by Esfandiar Khaleghi that gives an overview of Siemens NX, a CAD package used for product design, engineering and manufacturing. The first video moves through various 2D modelling techniques, which is the natural entry point before solid modelling.

Who it suits

• Beginners meeting NX for the first time.
• Students who know another CAD program and want to see how NX approaches sketching.

Using it well

Follow along in the software and repeat each sketch from memory afterward. Later videos in the series are the place to look for solid modelling, so treat this one as groundwork.
