NX CHECKMATE – CAD QUALITY CHECKER

NX Checkmate is a CAD quality assurance tool used to enforce design standards, best practices, and CAD Methodology at an organizational level.

Maintaining CAD methodologies and ensuring successful outcomes are vital for an organization while adapting to the ever-changing era of product development. Siemens, with its domain-dominant expertise, has created a checkmate feature within NX to maintain organization-specific CAD quality, without impacting the product design.

Checkmate can be used to validate bulk CAD data with limited user interaction. Configuring and implementing checkmate involves contributions from various roles in an organization, such as designer, project manager, programmer, or System Administrator. This enables designers to discover errors in every phase of the product development process. Therefore, Checkmate increases product CAD quality while reducing product development time.
