Fantastic tool for large assemblies when other CAD softwares fail or close during the project, NX always keeps running. I have rarely seen NX crash like other software programs do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

More complex and less user friendly than some other CAD softwares that I have used (ie SolidWorks, Solid Edge) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The wide range of features, along with how easy it is to integrate with the Teamcenter ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unfortunately, NX doesn’t have strong backward compatibility with Teamcenter, especially when it comes to integration. If your Teamcenter version is behind what NX supports, you often end up having to write custom scripts to make things work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can create robust 3D designs and includes intelligent metadata that supports automated design while feeding downstream processes. Lots of features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does not support interoperability/import of .jt standard assembly files with PMI well in a managed Teamcenter > NX environment. Sometimes there are settings that are hard to find that can be the trick to fixing a tough issue you are dealing with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is simple to use and pretty quickly you are able to get the hang of modeling in Siemens NX 12 in the CAD environment. There is modeling, assembly, layouts, constraints, reference sets, arrangements and sequencing that help you better visualize your models within an assembly. It is a super simple implementation with SAP PLM environment and is used weekly if not on a daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't really have a downside for siemens NX CAD other than that you are limited to what you can design because of licensing. There is a lot more potential for the CAD environment but depending on what your field/company needs that's all they'll buy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease of use of Designcenter NX. I also appreciate how it's connected and integrated with Teamcenter, allowing me to work seamlessly in the design NX and save directly to Teamcenter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Workflows need more details and out-of-the-box handlers. Include more interactions. A little more effort was required for the initial setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Designcenter NX because of its huge set of designing tools and customizability. The features like Sketch, PMI, and Assembly are really valuable. PMI, in particular, adds value by reducing drawing footprints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AI capabilities can be accelerated on automation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate the power of the modeling system in Designcenter NX. The parametric linking and the troubleshooting of electrical routed paths are particularly beneficial for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like cable deforming and multiple paths in a system. The initial setup of Designcenter NX was horrible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Designcenter NX to be a very powerful CAD tool. Our use of part families is significant because our products are highly configurable. This capability of handling part families effectively is something I really appreciate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Initial learning and onboarding can be a bit of a challenge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Designcenter for helping engineers design connectors. I like its ease of use and AWC availability. The direct loading to NX is another feature that I appreciate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the download of data to be a challenge, and there are issues with the creation of data through NX. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am an engineering manager leading a 12-member team of product design and packaging design engineers who use NX in our day-to-day work. NX is easy to learn and adopt compared to other tools. We use it for connector design, and in my experience it’s the best tool ever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NX is sometimes very difficult for metal design. We use it to design crimp terminals, but certain parts of the workflow feel hard to handle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
