DimXtract | Dimension Inspection Tool

Automated 2D Drawing Inspection Tool for NX CAD

Redefining Quality in Engineering

DimXtract: NX CAD Plug-in for Smarter 2D Drawing Inspection

In the competitive engineering and manufacturing environment, speed and precision are non-negotiable. Organizations must deliver high-quality products faster while managing increasingly complex design cycles. One of the most time-consuming yet critical tasks in this process is dimension inspection of 2D drawings. Manual methods often lead to delays, inconsistencies, and errors ultimately impacting quality and increasing costs.

This is where DimXtract, a specialized plug-in for NX CAD/CAM software developed by CitiusKBE, makes a difference. Designed to streamline the entire inspection workflow, DimXtract automates the extraction, classification, and reporting of dimensions, tolerances, and annotations, saving hours of manual effort while boosting accuracy.

Why DimXtract?

Traditional inspection methods rely heavily on manual data entry and documentation. Engineers spend hours ballooning drawings, classifying features, and preparing detailed reports for quality checks. Not only is this process time-intensive, but it is also prone to human error.

DimXtract addresses these pain points by:

Drastically reducing the time required to prepare dimension inspection reports.

NX CAD Plug-in for Smarter 2D Drawing Inspection

By combining configurability, user-friendly reporting, and seamless integration, DimXtract revolutionizes the way organizations approach quality management and change management.

CitiusKBE delivers advanced CAD automation tools and engineering productivity solutions

1. Efficiency and Time Reduction

DimXtract automates repetitive tasks that traditionally consume hours of engineering effort. It scans drawing sheets, identifies all relevant dimensions and annotations, and prepares inspection reports in a fraction of the time. This not only shortens project timelines but also allows engineers and QA teams to focus on higher-value activities.

Key Advantage: Reduce inspection report preparation time by up to 70%, accelerating overall product development.

2. Accuracy and Precision

Quality management depends on trustworthy inspection results. DimXtract ensures that every dimension, symbol, tolerance, and annotation is captured precisely. By reducing the dependency on manual ballooning and data entry, it eliminates the risk of oversight.

Key Advantage: Facilitates error-free inspections and supports organizations in maintaining compliance with stringent quality standards

3. Configurability and Customization

Every organization has unique inspection requirements. DimXtract is built with a high degree of configurability, allowing users to tailor the tool to their processes and standards. With the Admin Module, teams can:
  • Choose different numbering schemes.
  • Apply multiple balloon types for entities.
  • Use different sorting methods for numbering.
  • Ignore irrelevant entities as per project needs.
Key Advantage: Fully customizable inspection processes without requiring coding or advanced skills.

4. Comprehensive Reporting

Inspection reports are often the bridge between engineering, quality, and management teams. DimXtract automates the generation of detailed, user-friendly reports that capture every critical element from the 2D drawing. Reports include:
  • Dimensions and tolerances.
  • GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing).
  • Weld and surface finish symbols.
  • Notes and labels.
  • Revision history.
  • Sheet-wise and type-wise dimension summaries.
  • Visual images for clarity.
Reports are generated in HTML format, making them accessible, shareable, and easy to interpret.
Key Advantage: Clear, comprehensive reports that facilitate better decision-making and communication across teams.

5. Seamless Integration with NX CAD

DimXtract is designed as a plug-in for NX CAD/CAM software, ensuring a smooth workflow for engineers already working in this environment. There’s no steep learning curve or additional infrastructure needed.

Key Advantage: Works natively within NX CAD, making adoption seamless and user-friendly.
