Best practices – CATIA

As you migrate from CATIA to NX, most of your high-level practices for creating parts, assemblies, and drawings may also be good practices in NX because many of the general concepts of associativity, datums, features, parameters, sketches, and sketch constraints are similar. On the other hand, the danger of mapping all of your practices to similar practices in NX is that you may miss the opportunity to use new functionality in NX. Use the NX Assembly Navigator to investigate the assembly structure. To work on a specific part in an assembly, make it the work part in the assembly, or make it the displayed part. Use the Part Navigator to investigate the features in the assembly work part. After migrating drawings, use the NX Drawing Comparison Tool in the Drawing Migration toolbar to compare the original drawing to the migrated drawing. Chapter 12: Migrating CATIA data
