JT from Multiple Sources - NX MultiCAD

JT has benefits in NX…

• Loads JT content based on Customer Defaults

• Lightweight load -> Precise geometry

• Synchronises Assembly structure during load

• Creates & populates reference sets according to load options

• Allows associative references (eg wave link)

• Semantic PMI Representations
