If your team uses Siemens NX, creating custom part templates is one of the easiest ways to improve consistency and save time across every new design.

In my latest video, Dave Francis walk through how to create and configure custom NX part file templates, including:
✔️ Start parts
✔️ Standard layers & expressions
✔️ Template directories
✔️ PAX file editing
✔️ UGII_TEMPLATE_DIR setup
✔️ Adding templates to the NX “New” dialog

Some careers are built by chance. Others are built through years of deep expertise and passion for an industry.

Kim’s career journey has taken her through leading organizations like IBM and Siemens, where she spent years working in strategy, marketing, and PLM software solutions across industries like aerospace, defense, and marine.

That passion for innovation and technology is exactly what makes Kim such a valuable part of the SIS team today.

Sometimes the right opportunity comes through the people who know your strengths best.

Kim’s journey to SIS began with a connection from a former director she had worked closely with over the years. That recommendation led to a new chapter — and we’re so glad it did.

At SIS, we believe strong teams are built through trust, relationships, and people who recognize potential in one another. Stories like Kim’s are a reminder of how impactful those connections can be.

We’re grateful to have Kim on the SIS team.
