Perimeter Dimensioning

In this tip and trick, we will introduce you to perimeter dimensioning in Siemens NX.

Perimeter dimensioning is a powerful tool for measuring and displaying perimeters of geometries. You can determine the exact length of curves, contours or freeforms in your model, which can be critical to meeting quality standards and specifications. If the geometry changes, the perimeter dimensioning adjusts automatically and shows you the updated length immediately. In technical drawings and documentation, perimeter dimensioning helps to communicate measurements clearly and precisely, leading to fewer misunderstandings. As the dimensioning is calculated automatically, you save time and minimize the risk of errors. Overall, perimeter dimensioning in Siemens NX is an indispensable tool to increase accuracy, efficiency and quality in your design and development processes.
