Siemens NX Pro Tutorial - How to import dxf or dwg and organize curves via sketch groups

Video Content:
In this video, you can learn how to import dxf or dwg geometry, control visibility and parametrize the curves via Sketch Groups.
In this Siemens NX CAD tutorial, you will learn how to use selection rules in a very efficient and consistent manner. The modeling technique is based on a single method, called horizontal modeling. Always relate your objects to the possibly oldest objects while creating an association. That's it. That's the rule you have to follow.
By the way - we are teaching the most efficient usage of Siemens NX within our Blended Learning programs and also offer a specific training which gives you the ability to increase the comfort as well as the stability of and during your designs.
By the way - we offer a Siemens NX online training concerning modeling methods. Just get in contact (;

Thank you! Awesome tips and tricks.

[@tsturdy2]

Really useful tutorial. Thanks very much. I am having one issue that when o add the curves to a sketch and apply to a scalable group they are not constrained as yours are, any tips on what I'm missing?

[@Umarasif22]

Good❤

[@brentje0014]

i can't import a dwg file because i don't have the license, i'm on a student version. I need this for scool tho is there a way to import my file?

[@christianbeschorner9619]

Very nice feature clarification. Do you have some solution for a similar problem. After importing a dxf all curves are imported to "non time stamped geometry" and can not be picked or selected for measure distances e.g.. Would be nice to get some comment.

[@hoeze]

Can I change somewehre the units from inch (in) to mm? The dxf-file is in mm but NX imports it as inch. So it is scated with 25.4.

can we have possible to set a centre point on profile fase plz make a vedio sirr plzz

Sorry, I didn't get it?!

Thanku u sir one question when ever we import the drawing in nx it is not easy to find on workplane why any solution

[@Umarasif22]

I need help dwg file cannot be edit and extude input selection error please solution

[@jonjon3829]

Which NX version are you using? I don't have the scale options available and its exactly why I stumbled upon your video, my drawings load in 2:1 scale...

[@Bizlearn_Siemens_NX_Training]

Hi Jon, I actually don't know. The scale option is relatively new. Before, I used to extrude the sketch and scale the resulting geometry! Which version are u using? Time for an update?

[@jonjon3829]

@@Bizlearn_Siemens_NX_Training I did update and got the option, but now the issue is that the dimensions also update together with the scaling, it's insane...

[@compassft]

I always get an error: "Translation did not complete..." any tips/idea?

[@Umarasif22]

Coral logo export dwg file and open nx to make 3d pleas tutorial

[@HOUSEDESIGNBYENGG]

Please make the video on reverse engineering projects

[@Bizlearn_Siemens_NX_Training]

I will for sure! Thank you for the request

[@syedrizwan2203]

Can it can be don in nx 10?

[@Bizlearn_Siemens_NX_Training]

Yes it can, but the scalable groups are maybe not available.

[@syedrizwan2203]

@@Bizlearn_Siemens_NX_Training ya it is not available
