In this tip and trick, we introduce you to the "Linear Diameter" function in Siemens NX. 📏
Do you want to dimension cylinders in side view – but with the diameter, not the length? Then the Linear Diameter function is exactly what you need! 🙌
It makes it possible to set linear diameter dimensions in the 2D drawing - ideal for angled or sideways curves.
✅ Advantages:
- Clear, standard-compliant dimensions
- Fewer misunderstandings in production
- Perfect for technical drawings with complex geometries
💡 Pro tip:
Use the "Associative Origin" option to link the dimension lines even more precisely to reference points - so your dimensioning remains stable even when the model changes! 🔧
