hey guys,
Any of you have an ideas as to when NX7 might be released?
thanks

The proposed release date for NX 7.0 is currently being shown as the end of the 3rd quarter, 2009. Beta testing could start shortly after PLM World.

We just went over to NX6! We'll be fine with that for the coming 5 years at least.
I would prefer a lower release rate and better testing. NX6 already has a MP3! Software developers also underestimate the workload generated by a change to a new release.
Who will end this madness?

Well, if there are some who wish NX6 came along at some later date, then they're entitled to their opinion. Our perspective is that the new technologies, functionality, and user interface represented by NX5 and NX6 couldn't have come sooner. There are just too many improvements to list, over NX4, NX3, etc, that help get real engineering & design work done.
From what the various tidbits of info sound like, NX7.5 can't come sooner, either... especially from the standpoint of FEM.
Speaking of which, is there any preview documentation that can be shared discussing anticipated new functionality in NX7 or NX7.5?
Keep up the madness!

Well, as we get closer to PLM World (June 1-4 in Nashville) there will be more details released about NX 7.0, which will be fully demonstrable at the meeting.
As for NX 7.5, while there will be no formal demos of anything that will look like a finished product, there will be presentations given which will include some details about the areas which are being invested in for NX 7.5 as well as demonstration/presentations covering some of those specific application areas such as CAE, CAM and other disciplines.
As for the comment about NX 6.0, note that it was released over 9 months ago and that by the time NX 7.0 is released, 15 months will have passed. In our business, anything greater than 12 months is an eternity in terms of trying to get both new technology and capabilities to our customers as well as being able to meet the commitments which we have had to make in order to remain a viable and competitive supplier of software and services to the markets which we are actively involved in, to say nothing of our responsibilities to our parent corporation who also happens to be a very large global user of our products and services.

I can't agree more with Potrero. I would trade small bugs for easy-of-use and functionality any day.
John, from your post, is it safe to assume that the most changes in manufacturing (CAM module) would take place in 7.5 as oppose to 7.0? If so, does Siemens have an idea of the release for 7.5?
thank you

While I can't really speculate too much about NX 7.5 since it's release date is still better than a year out from now, I think it would be safe to say that for virtually ANY area of the product, NX 7.5 will be seen as a more significant release than will will NX 7.0 be seen as.
Now that's about all that I think I can comment about at this time. But if any of you are at PLM World in Nashville I'm sure that you will learn much more about what our plans are for the next couple of releases.
