NX 7.0 AND NX 7.5

[milancz]

Hi,
the upgrade NX 7.0 on NX 7.5 was offered to me so that the major question has appeared.
Is NX 7.5 still fully compatible with NX 7.0?
I mean, it is possible to open and work with "part" from NX 7.5 in NX 7.0?
(Partners still work with NX 7.0 and they haven't intended to do upgrade on NX 7.5 in near future.)
Thanks for answer.

No major release version of NX that i know of is backwards compatible, thus it will not be possible to open a 7.5 part in 7.0.

As NX 7.5 is a major release not an update, you can NOT open NX 7.5 files in NX 7.0
That being said NX 7.5 has some nice enhancements!

Everyone, please keep in mind that the first TWO fields of the NX version name, in these cases, NX 7.0.x.x and NX 7.5.x.x, that these fields indicate the MAJOR release name and as such indicates that they are full replacements for the previous version. Only the 3rd field indicates a maintenance level and only those are downward compatible within the same MAJOR release.

John,

It would so much simpler if Siemen's simply told us why it's NX 7.5 and not NX 8.0

Even if the reason was given, I don't think I'd be able to wrap my head around the marketing "logic".

 

[JohnRBaker]

Trust me, I would if I could. BTW, it was not a 'marketing decision', but was rather an inevitable consequence of a series of decisions which were made for very good reasons, irrespective of their apparent lack of 'logic'.

As I was told, so I'll tell you...

learn to live with it!
