Dear NX I-deas Customer:

Enclosed is your new NX I-deas 5 release!

This release of NX I-deas 5 pairs with the NX 5 release to provide license sharing, matched platform operating requirements, and interoperability. NX I-deas 5, working in conjunction with Teamcenter Integration for I-deas 5.0.2, contains a number of enhancements for improving the use of Teamcenter Engineering with I-deas.

All these capabilities support the strategic objective of the Evolution of Excellence program: to successfully migrate from the I-deas environment to the NX environment, while preserving the investment and intellectual capital contained in your I-deas data, and while maintaining continuity in your workflows.

Additionally, NX I-deas 5 works to satisfy the tactical objective of the Evolution of Excellence program: to continue to provide robust, high quality I-deas software that drives productivity improvements for your product development. NX I-deas 5 contains enhancements throughout I-deas Modeling, Assembly, 3D Annotation, and Drafting.

We at Siemens UGS PLM Software are excited to bring you this new release of NX I-deas. We believe it continues to move forward on the product roadmap that we’ve articulated to you. Furthermore, the recent release of NX 5 is winning positive reviews from I-deas customers worldwide, as we continue to enhance NX to exceed the requirements of you, our I-deas customers.

We believe you will be pleased with the progress we’ve made in both NX I-deas 5 and NX 5. And we hope you will have an opportunity to upgrade to NX I-deas 5 soon, and also to start your move to NX. We look forward to continuing to bring you high quality, productivity-enhancing new software releases.

Respectfully,

NX and NX I-deas Team
