What I observed in NA, is that majority of CAD users are not much aware of ISO drafting standards and their applications like this topic. They like to write lot of notes in the drawings. e.g. “Drill & Tap M12 pitch 1.75mm” where it should be just “M12” and the rest are industry manufacturing methods and standards. May be this is due to many unregulated and very chaotic “Imperial” applications you find here in NA. Another case is Dowel reamed holes. In imperial system, I see any size of hole values with LPF, SF written, which “Light Press Fit”/ “Press Fit” are personal feeling to every individual tool maker! Where as in metric, all the regular Metric reamers are made to a standard set sizes with H7 fit (Hole Basis).
In a cross sectional view it’s a basic rule to have “Hidden Lines=invisible” (Not to show hidden lines) and I assume it’s a basic standard globally. But NX doesn’t follow this rule but the parent view setting. Every time I’ve to requalify the section view settings.
To overcome this situation, I think NX should do a better job implementing industry standards and enforcing the user to adhere to the selected standards. In some other software, when you specify the default standards, it loads corresponding well defined standards and settings (i.e. Line Types, Line weights/thickenss, Text sizes, Projection Type, Dimension Schemes etc.) and also allows easily convert/switch/update the used existing standards to other (In NX switching/updating standards is a nightmare.) If the user ever modifies, the stranded will show as -modified; ISO-modified or DIN-modified. This eliminates repeatedly scrutinise each and every drawing to check if it follows the standards.
