With this NX tip & trick, we would like to introduce a function that significantly speeds up dimensioning in the 3D model: Rapid Dimension in Siemens NX.
Rapid dimensioning is a powerful tool that allows you to set dimensions in sketches particularly efficiently. Instead of creating each dimension individually via the menu, NX automatically recognizes the type of dimension you want - depending on which elements you select (e.g. lines, circles, points or edges).
Benefits at a glance:
🔹 Significantly faster dimensioning processes in sketches
🔹 Automatic detection of the appropriate dimensioning type
🔹 Intuitive operation - ideal for beginners and professionals
🔹 Reduces click paths and increases efficiency in the design process
💡 Hint: The function can be ideally combined with the shortcut “D” (for “Dimension”) - this saves you the detour via the menu.
