NX&nbsp;Drafting automates and streamlines engineering drawing production. Drawings are associative to models, so model changes automatically update and are reflected in related drawings.&nbsp;Use drafting tools to create engineering drawings from 3D models to communicate your 3D designs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NX Layout is an easy-to-use 2D concept design solution&nbsp;that&nbsp;enhances 2D conceptual design with the use of intelligent, design&nbsp;centric, re-usable objects called 2D components. Automatically creating an assembly based on a layout accelerates the product design phase by allowing you to explore concepts in 2D&nbsp;and iterate and transfer it to 3D. NX Layout also reduces the cost of training, maintenance and implementation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/07\/Drafting-and-layout.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/07\/Drafting-and-layout.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/07\/Drafting-and-layout-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dex.siemens.com\/plm\/nx-cloud-connected-products\/nx-cloud-connected-drafting-layout?viewState=DetailView&amp;cartID=&amp;portalUser=&amp;store=&amp;cclcl=en_US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Buy Now<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">or<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/siemens.mindsphere.io\/content\/dam\/cloudcraze-mindsphere-assets\/plm\/Siemens%20SW%20NX%20Cloud%20Connected%20Product%20Comparison%20Chart%2024-04-20.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to compare products <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>Deliver innovative, world-class products to market faster with NX Cloud Connected Products, and experience the next generation of design on the cloud. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">*Credit card purchase only available in the United States and Germany.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During times of increased demand, being able to scale up your company\u2019s resources and production is critical.
