Siemens NX 1980 Series (NX 1980-2000) Documentation

NX help documentation

When you use offline help, you are using the help file distributed with the software. That version of help is updated only when you upgrade your software.

When you use online help, you are accessing, through website, the help file for the most current version of Siemens NX Series. As such, it may differ from the version of offline help you are using in your current software version.

Siemens become the first major CAD/CAM/CAE vendorto deliver its software using Continuous Release methodology in January 2019.

With this deployment model, NX customers will be able to access new improvements more quickly while reducing the effort required to implement NX. This makes Siemens the first major CAD / CAM / CAE software provider to publish product updates in this way and provides innovations and improvements in the software even faster.

The main change for you as a customer are the monthly update releases, which are made available to you within a single release series. Bugs are therefore no longer fixed in different releases, just in the latest update and even smaller extensions are integrated promptly, which raises the quality to a new level. Significant enhancements that may affect the schema and compatibility are expected approximately every six months. Whether and when you roll out updates in your company, if you automate the updates or if you want to use different versions on the same hardware remains your decision.
