Lakshmanan Vairavan - PeerSpot reviewer
Design Engineer|Plant Design at Christian Pfeiffer Maschinenfabrik GmbH
Has improved efficiency in large assembly plant design and reduced modeling time
The most important thing I want to see improved in Siemens NX, compared to other software, is the basic sketch functionality. When you draw sketches, the constraints are more challenging; you have to fix each line and part. You have to constrain to fix it, but compared to other software, in Siemens NX, it's more difficult. It takes more time to constrain the sketches. In terms of specific features that are missing, I can say that Siemens NX is good software compared to others because it has more features for assemblies and mates that are very useful for us. The only problem is with sketches. Different types of pattern features need to be included in the software because the pattern features in Siemens NX sometimes present difficulties compared to other software.
